  • Looking for a challenge, I set out on a solo backpacking trip to complete 100 miles on the Ice Age Trail. The Ice Age Trail has some beautiful areas, but also has a considerable amount of road walking. The demanding walk did a toll on my feet, but I was able to complete the challenge in 72 hours while disbursed camping along the way. The highlight of this trip for me was standing on a beaver dam and the beaver swimming very close to me before slapping his tail and swimming away.
