Two lovely trail angels today were Rita and Isabelle who hiked Kettlebowl southbound to run into me and then bring me back to town! Because of their help I was able to get to the 40th Anniversary Celebration for the Langlade County IAT Chapter. And I lucked out and got another night out of the cold. Thank you!
The celebration tonight was so much fun. I met some new folks, put faces to some names I knew (like Gray Ghost!), ate way too much good food, and was inspired by Nimblewill Nomad, who was everything I hoped he'd be.
It is going to be hard for any other county to compete with Langlade. It has been the most amazing experience.
What a day of trail magic! I was hoping you wouldn't be trying to share the Hillbilly Hilton with hunters. Was surprised when Gail said she had driven south through freezing temperatures to reach a friend's final hike at Milwaukee River yesterday. So happy for you to have such a wonderful day to give you memories for years.
