More trail PIX!
We arrived to Shale Beach. About a 4 mile stretch of small rounded stones that crunch like popcorn when you drive/walk on them.
Hung out on Shale Beach for a while skipping stones and took a group shot (I don't have that one) and off to Marble Head. Marble Head has a pretty nice rock decent/climb with 3 different skill options. I have a lot of video but only this picture of the HUMMER Peeps taking video and pix.
Lunch on Marble Head (Detroit Coney Dogs!!!!) provided by CBphoto. Many pix of the 80 foot cliff that is Marble Head then off to Glen Cove Beach (others have pix of Marble Head and Glen Cove Beach, I hope thye post'em)
After Glen Cove Beach we took a trek to Fossel Ledges. A great place to find fossels in the rocks that get crushed by the waves and placed on the shore line.
Our group of "Rock Hounds" looking for their own fossels to take as a token of their trip to Fossel Ledges.
More to come............

On the way back to The Lodge it was a "bit" dusty so I pulled over and got some "Kalahari Desert" type pix.
We even saw "Bambi" on the way back.
Back @ The Lodge we Jetski'd, Kayak'd, shot skeet hung out. Will and Rebecca provided us with Steak and Baked Taters for dinner! Another bonfire and some quality time spent @ the bar in The Lodge.
Saturday AM, Candi and Derreck provided us with breakfast burritos. Candi taught a class on Tread Lightly and we lined up for that days adventure. Hailifrisch, Tight Twisties, Jims Junction, Reikoffs and Conners Hole!!
Trail Pix.

More Trail Pix:
This climb is way steeper and harder than it looks in pix.
My "attempt" at the climb. Even with expert spotting and some rock "placement" I was however AGAIN unsuccessful and had to retreat to the bypass. One day I will conquer it!
More Tail Pix.

Well after wheeling over 1000s of bowling ***** 1/2 burried all day and Detroit Coney Dogs for lunch we had to stop by our favorite "rest area" before heading back to The Lodge for more Jetski'n, shoot'n, Kayak'n etc.
We had dinner Saturday night provided by Chastin (John and Laura). Spagetti dinner with hand made meat ***** (still want more of those), salad and garlic bread. Fished off with fresh apple pie and ice cream provided by Candi! Full and happy we retired to the campfire for some spectacular star gazing and "trail talk".
Some Dirty HUMMERs.

More Dirty HUMMERs
Cris (CBphoto)
Random Dirty HUMMER pix
Sunset once again.
Yep, that's AM. Some peeps had to leave pretty early in the AM to get back home. Some of us "stayed up" to wish them a safe trip!
Sunday for those who stayed was a leasure time of beach, Jetski'n, more Rock Hound'n, Kayak'n, Shoot'n and bonfires.
On the sad ferry ride home this is how close the ferry came to a freighter. A little scary when you see the size of a freighter 25 feet from a small ferry.
Might Mac on the trip home, Monday.
ANYBODY WANT TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IN 2012???
