“Wow this was a great trip!We did about 30 miles of trail and off trail backpacking on this great island.It felt so go to go backpacking for 4 days it was so good for me and the other club members that had gone with.

The day we got there the lake was very mad and there were 9 ft waves on the way over and I got sick....Yuck......8(

But after we got on the island I felt like a kid in a candy store!!!!The first day we did lots of off trail backpacking and we found lots of nice dunes and great beaches it was lots of fun.Then the rain came but it was not bad becuase every time it rained we got to set camp up rain free and we got to break camp rain free.

This was such a great place to go exploring.There were lots of old houses to go and check out and a old cemetery.

This was one of the best trips I have been on in a long time.

It is a must for any backpacker!

I have 4 pages of pictures for everyone to check out.
