Hike North Country Trail to Bike to Canoe Hugh Heward Challenge to Bicycle Home

Every year, I paddle in the challenge to honor the memory of Verlen Kruger with my Kruger Canoe.

This year I decided to hike by way of the North Country Trail which goes near my house in Wisconsin. One small challenge--snow! I never would have made it to the Hugh Heward Challenge with all that snow so I took side roads.

I ended in snow, too. The last day of my planned bike trip home we had a late spring snowstorm.
