Description


Tentative plans to head to the park for this weekend. (March 7th-9th)

This will be a base-camping trip, staying at the Platte River C.G, for 1-2 nights, depending on when you arrive?

We can take day-trips, and explore the many different areas of the park. There is a trail system that comes through the campground, which we would have easy access to as well. (Platte Plains Trail system)

Note: This trip is dependent on SNOW! Meaning if there is not enough snow for skiing/snowshoeing, then I will opt-out, and head for the Upper Peninsula or anywhere in Michigan, that I/we? can find snow.

Others still wanting to take part in this trip at this location, may do so.

I will give notice one week prior as to my intentions, In the meantime Think Snow!
