Began the adventure in the snow near Mackinaw City in MI and ended in the snow at Lost Nation State Game Area, MI. A group of MI women who backpack/hike/canoe/cross-country ski together, loosely named The Tribe, challenged one another to undertake the NCT challenge. Some of us started in February at the end of our cross-country ski outing. Others joined in for spring and summer trips/hikes in MI. In September, I was joined by my husband at the NCT convention in Fargo and added a few more miles. We were out of the country in October/November and most of December, so it was a challenge to fit in my last 4.4 miles, since we live almost two hours from the closest NCT section. I finished today! Thanks for inspiring me and also many of my good friends to get out and enjoy the trail. Keep up the good work.
