Spartan, Start at Red Bridge. North Country Trail, cross over the suspension bridge and back to red bridge on the Manistee River Trail. Beautiful trail any time of year.

I was looking at starting there or seaton creek campground but it looks like starting at the red bridge will save the best views for last.

Welcome. Love your dog - that is one beautiful animal! Do you take your dog with you on your hikes?

This is my first time getting into forums so bare with me. Eh, we're not that kind of hikers. We don't get bare until the second or third visit.

Yeah I've taken him with me every time. After a 15-20 mile day he's tired. And a tired dog is a good dog lol. I need to get him his own pack so I'm not the one carrying his food, water and small sleeping pad which is just a thermarest z-lite cut down
Give me a heads up when the bare party is about to happen lol

When did broccoli make it into the lineup? Brussels sprouts roasted with bacon is best.
Welcome to the forum, Spartan! We're an odd mix of people, but I'm sure you've figured that out by now.

Thank you! Having an odd mix of people keeps things interesting. This is my first time using forums and so far I like it a lot!

Now you've pissed us off. We hate it when newbies are concerned about making newbie mistakes. Back to the frozen wasteland with you...
By the way, my avatar is about as risky as you're allowed to be...unless you happen to be a neked yoga chick. Dang did that burn images into our minds...for life.

Welcome, Spartan. Hey, I like broccoli! Better than I like okra, for sure. This could start WWIII, couldn't it? Oh, and in case I didn't say it already, welcome aboard, Spartan.

What about beets? You left that one out. I promptly greet him, fix his original avatar (not the one with the dog), and post one of many variations of "the quiz", and the critics come squirming out of the woodwork - beets, broccoli, okra, whatever. Hey, I do the best I can with the memory I have. I think I'll resign from the welcoming committee before I'm officially fired. That'll give me more time at the Backpacker Bar, anyway. Maybe I can find a spot at a bar in Jackson with DC. Braaaaaaaaaaaaappp!
