This backpacking trip was to the Porcupine Mountain State Park in the upper peninsula of Michigan. The four of us, John Gundry, Ed Tucker, John Phelps, and me (Carl Fisher) departed early from work on a Friday for the four drive to the trailhead. The drive was uneventful as was the short 1 mile backpack to our campsite for the night.

We hiked 5 to 7 miles on the second day, about 1/2 way around Lake of the Clouds with comfortable temperatures in the 50’s and beautiful and colorful scenery. We got to see fall in all its glory.

The final day, Sunday, was an easy five ish miles back to the car for the drive back to Green Bay WI.
