Superior Hiking Trail...Shug's Solo Stomp DAY 1

Whooooo Buddy ...... finally my 12 week back to back show schedule is done and I had time to go and stomp in the piney woods!
After a few days getting to re-know my wife I headed out on a solo for 3 nights on the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT). Slept in "booger" ... my van on Saturday night at the Beaver Bay trailhead. Got up there late night. Caught the Superior Shuttle up to the Hwy. 1 Trailhead and headed South. Went to the bridge crossing the river at Split Rock River and camped at the site by the bridge on night 3. Headed back to "Booger" on Wednesday morn ..... a long hike back!
I was pretty sing-songy on this trip ....especially day one. Haaaaaa. Giddy.
Ate some new trail food...... Hawk Vittles. OUTSTANDING!

Thankee for the tip on that Miguel..... http://www.hawkvittles.com/

The March issue of BACKPACKER came in the mail a few days ago. I was looking forward to reading your Tough Guy Challenge article. I guess they held off until the next issue?

[shugemery]

@Weskanoy I don't think they do any article on it...that is the feeling I got from talking to the gal at Backpacker.

Don't think I've ever seen your wife come along, on one of these treks ... Don't see too many woment at the ""hangs" either ... I've never figgered out why most women are not into "roughing it" (a wee bit). I mean ... more men sew than women camp, it seems. Might be a *good* thing ... not quite sure (scratch-scratch).

[shugemery]

@phrankus2009 She is opposed to totin' a load on a trail. More the Spa type. I am glad she has her hobbies and me mine. Time apart is good for the both of us...key to our 26 year marriage!

[Weskanoy]

@shugemery Oh. Well they should have. They could have included the link to your submitted video and it would have been the most entertaining thing in the March issue. There would be people all over the world saying "WHOOO-OO BUDDY!!"

[shugemery]

@RWW124 I concur....heading up tomorrow!
