I originally posted this in the #TridgeToBridge240 Facebook group, but I wanted to share it here as well. As I’ve said so many times before, I honestly believe every one of us is capable of truly incredible things. And more often than not, it’s the love and support we receive from our fellow humans that […]

2024 #TridgeToBridge240 – Day 3
As you head east towards the water on the business route from US23, a small sign stands on the left side of the road. Barely taller than the field grass surrounding it, you may not even notice it’s there. It reads simply “Quarry View”. On the other side of the road a gravel road ascends […]
2024 #TridgeToBridge240 – Day 2(b)
After a two hour nap I set out from Tawas late in the afternoon yesterday. I had big goals for where I wanted to be and when, but after 35 rainy miles earlier in the day, my progress was so much slower than I had hoped. It would turn out to be one of the […]
2024 #TridgeToBridge240 – Day 2(a)
Around 2:30 this morning a steady rain began to fall – a condition that would remain nearly constant for the next twelve hours. My feet spent the day yesterday trapped in hot, sweat soaked shoes, and now found themselves in shoes that squished with every step. My progress north was slower than I would have […]
2024 #TridgeToBridge240 – Day 1
We passed this place on our journey as we had so many others throughout the day. There’s nothing special about it; no epic views or major historical landmarks. Just an old Drive-In with a sign promising a reopening after repairs were completed someday. But here, this afternoon at this unassuming spot, I completed my 1000th […]

#MeetMeInStLouis – Day 5
Today was a day filled with incredible contrasts and variety. What started as an almost chilly, overcast morning, gradually became a light rain before the clouds cleared almost completely for the afternoon. Though it was close for a bit, I managed once again to keep my raincoat in my pack. The land I made my […]
