Nordhouse Dunes Michigan - 6/7 - 6/9/13 <Pic Heavy>

[Boudah]

So, since only live 2 hours away, I drove up Thursday night and hiked in at about 10:30pm. Park at "A", the Hike to "B" is about 1.5miles, We camped at "D"



Friday Morning Sunrise


Easy to walk right past your camp along the lakeshore. (Camp is in that tree line)


Spent the majority of my Friday with the pup, Quincy my 9mo Australian Shepherd


Home crap home


Epic Lanscapes

Da plane, da plane!



First sightings of HF crew... two miles north of where they should have came onto the beach. lol



HexGrill prototype testing

Playing in the sand - only a hand full of us crazies went for a swim since the water was like 48 degrees. I was one of them!


My Rig (Lerms is the floating head who owns that baked potato to the right)

That looks like a totally awesome trip - great photos, beautiful scenery. Wish I was there.

The one picture I didnt get was the cooler. SO MUCH BEER... and we hiked it all in. lol

There was another group of bros there that hauled two 1/4 barrel kegs out right around "C"

Nordhouse is extended car camping. A few years ago we hauled a Bocce ball set out there... on purpose!

To best describe it, imagine the 100% polar opposite of UL backpacking... A weekend out there; we generate more weight in trash we need to haul out than most UL-geek's base weights.

Looks like you guys had a trip of epic proportions. Hope to catch the next hang.

Beautiful photos. I really am kicking myself for not going. Nordhouse is one of my favorite places. Thanks for the report.

[TZBrown]

Great report, I sure wish I could have made it.

Lets start planning for the next one

[Boudah]

I think total we had 18 people and two dogs show up.

I'm going again sometime in July (not the 4th weekend, it'd be insanely busy)
