      Thanks, Liz! Good to be back! Devil's Lake is one of my favorite places in Wisconsin, and the bluffs were a good warmup for all the climbing I did last month 😂

      @OutOnTrail  2 роки тому

      You won't find too many boulder fields like that in Wisconsin... The unique terrain (for this part of the country) makes Devil's Lake a popular destination for hikers and rock climbers. Appreciate the feedback on the musical selections, as well! Thanks for taking the time to follow along, and I hope you have an awesome weekend!

    Yay! We haven't seen anything from you in awhile! Love that boardwalk trail in the beginning! Looks like a nice path to hike - with lots of lovely views of the lake! Wisconsin has some beautiful terrain! Loved the Wisconsin Conservation Corps sign - we find those organizations so incredibly interesting! The tumbled rock trail is awesome! Nice terrain - but I kept thinking "snake city!" Lol. Bird mound - never heard of that - but interesting! You have a great eye for shots Mike! Always a pleasure watching your journey! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY

      Hi Karen and Shannon! I spent most of July, and the early part of August, thru hiking the Long Trail, so I didn't have access to my computer and had pretty sporadic cell service... I'm finally starting to catch up with what's been going on in civilization 😂 Glad you enjoyed the scenery from Devil's Lake; it's surely one of my favorite places in Wisconsin (and I'm sure you'll be glad to know that venomous snakes are very rare in this area)! Hope you are doing well! I always appreciate your feedback, and I'm looking forward to catching up on what you've been up to this summer! 🙂

    • @OutOnTrail
      @OutOnTrail  2 роки тому

      Hello! Thanks, as always, for taking the time to watch and for your kind words 🙂 Devil's Lake is one of my favorite Wisconsin State Parks, and it's definitely a family-friendly destination... In addition to the hiking trails, there's a beach, you can rent paddle boats to take out on the lake, and there's even an ice cream stand. The kids would probably love the nearby Wisconsin Dells, also!
      As for the green caterpillar, I'm fairly certain it was a cankerworm... They produce their own little silk lines to dangle from, while they eat leaves. Thanks again, and hope you're having a great weekend!

    Well that looked like fun :) Nothing like a redemption trip! I can definitely relate to being 'left behind' while filming - and then having to race to catch up. So funny... Mason does exactly the same thing as Mick with the back-and-forth between people on the trail. He just likes to know where everyone is... while simultaneously avoiding the camera every time I point it at him :p.

    How difficult is the climb to the top of the west bluff? I’m going to pop the question there and just need to know what kind of a climb I’m going to put her through

    • @OutOnTrail
      @OutOnTrail  10 місяців тому

      Congratulations!!! I always find these types of questions a little difficult because the answer depends on things like fitness level and hiking experience. With that said, the West Bluff is a couple hundred feet of elevation gain. It's definitely easier than the East Bluff, and the climb is less steep from the South Shore. If I had to put a rating on it, I'd probably say the East Bluff is on the harder side of "moderate" hikes, and the West Bluff is on the easier side of "moderate." Hope that helps and that you have an awesome and memorable day! ✌️
