On a beautiful, sunny, summer day, 19 Tramps hiked in from the Pillsbury Mt parking lot and trailhead to Cedar Lake and onto the Northville-Placid Trail to lean-tos 1 and 2.

There was mud and corduroy to navigate much of the way.

The signs said we had 4.5 miles to the lake, but GPS showed it longer. No one complained (at least within my earshot) and we all made it safe and sound. There was a loon or 2 on the lake and the area was truly peaceful and beautiful. I can see why Louie chose the area.

We opted not to look for his cave this trip as it would have added more mileage and we may have done as much as 12 miles as it was.
