I made it home alive from my week backpacking in the Porcupine Mountains (in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula) with my students. The photo above is a storm rolling in off Lake Superior, taken looking out from the mouth of the Big Carp River – luckily that was the one night we were in cabins rather than tents. The real excitement was on the very first day, when one of our students sprained her ankle and yours truly heroically bushwhacked out to a ranger station in the pouring rain, navigating by compass, to get help evacuating her.
Anyway, I’m home and I no longer smell like a combination of sweat, smoke, turkey jerky, and damp wool. Regular blogging resumes this week.
appreciate the simplicity and perceptivity of your comments / look forward to the resumption of what may be regular certainly hasn’t been ordinary
Welcome home. Glad you made it back safely. Hope your student is Ok.

Oh, she’s fine. She just wasn’t going to be able to carry a pack to continue with the trip. :)
Welcome back!
Welcome back! Eager to hear more about the trip.
