North Manitou Island 2010
Our first trip to North Manitou & our first backpacking experience. It was a trip neither one of us will forget. It was truly a life changing experience, we learned a lot about our selves and each other. We also learned what to bring and what to pack and what not to pack.. made a lot of mistakes with packing too heavy. We definitely learned not bringing the right equipment can be a painful choice. It was still worth the trip and we cant wait to go back next year!

Beautiful sunset, even if we did have to stay in the tent to watch it because of the massive amounts of black flies
Stopped for a picture after the 3 mile marker
1st campsite... horrible black flies, but awesome views
