  • Less than a week after my grueling hike of the Uinta Highline Trail in Utah, I set out for a laid back, relaxing trip with friends on the Superior Hiking Trail. I start out at George Crosby Manitou State Park and hiking south to Sonju Lake. At Sonju Lake, I met up with my friends Rob Pelton and Jeanelle. The next day we hike to Section 13 and camp. Great weather, laughter, conversation, campfire, incredible views, and good food fill the weekend. We also enjoyed cheering on runners of the Superior 100, a trail race that takes most over 24 hours to complete.

    I participated in a Ouachita Trail cleanup event this past weekend. I car camped at Lake Sylvia. I was there at the same camp spot for three days. It felt super weird sitting and doing nothing while my breakfast reconstituted. I need to practice relaxing. 👈😑🤌

    I love sites like Sonjou, but as a solo hiker I usually have skip them because they are always full.

    By chance, are you related to the 1st place trail runner that got lost? You both seem to have something in common....lol!!!
    I have no idea how they run the SHT as I know my ankles would be broken or sprained!!
    Is there a part 2 to this outing as that's when the rest of the superstars show up at Split Rock.
