What will you need?
You will need a State Park Pass for 2015. It’s a new year so you might as well get one to enjoy for the whole year. You will also need to wear appropriate clothing for hiking in the winter. We are expecting the Ice Age Trail to be icy for the hike, so wear good boots that have traction. You may also want to bring tractions aid such as a Yak Trak, Du North, Kattula or Ice Trekkers. If you have snowshoes bring them just in case. If it snows the day or two before the event we may need people with snowshoes to lead the way and pack down the trail for the people who don’t have snowshoes.
Other details
If the weather is too bad the event will be canceled. Check on Tman’s Ice Age Trail Website (http://sites.google.com/site/tmansiceagetrailtreks/) for information on whether it’s canceled. Also, please let me know that you are planning to attend this event, so I knows how many people to plan for. My email address is isawtman@gmail.com The lunch will be at a nearby restaurant.
So how does it feel to have completed the whole trail? Well, it hasn’t really hit me yet.
