Started off the morning taking some photos with Randy Lennartz, an IATA member who likes to publicize the trail in Waushara County. Hope they turn out well!

It was a beautiful day — not too warm, not too cool — and Ed was able to hike back towards me on quite a few segments while crewing me. Bohn Lake was gorgeous. So were Emmons and Hartman Creek. Ed and I really enjoyed the latter. The scenery was great, plus the terrain was as well. It was gently undulating; nothing too strenuous. We hit it at the end of the day and saw a lot of deer and turkey. I saw a groundhog waddle across the trail — I think the first groundhog I’ve seen in the wild.

Spending the night with friends in Plover.
