I call this rejuvenation for my soul.

Lake Renewal is a very real phenomena. I do believe I could sit here for hours. Hours just … nothing.

Today Brother and I are taking on the North Country Trails.

Nothing too ambitious, probably 10 miles. Tomorrow we’re going to go all out — a good 15. We’re off to Brutus to load up on carbs and coffee.

Get as jacked up as we can so right around the time we’re hitting hills and my legs feel like dead weight, I’ll also want to collapse from a caffeine drop.

Clear blue Michigan sky, with no one around for miles, hiking ancient dunes and eco systems on America’s longest trail. Sounds like a pretty damn ideal day to me.
