10:00 AM Status – It was a little brisk last night

Hi Friends of the IAT; 

John reported that it was a little nippy last night, the temperature dropped to 50 degrees.   He was up early, he was on the road at 6:00 am after spending the night near John Muir Memorial County Park in Marquette County (Map 46e).  When I called he had just passed thru Pawaukee, WI (somewhere between Map 46e and Map 59e).   He stopped at the bar in Pawaukee to re-fill his water bottles and then he was on his way.  His feet were  killing him and he had a day of long road walks ahead of him.  His goal for the day was to make it to the Marquette / Waushara County border near the Chaffee Creek State Fishery Area (Map 59e).  John reported that Marquette County is pretty desolate, not much there. 

Happy Trails,
