IAT Thru Hike

John Bauer and Bill Rhodes - 2006 Ice Age Trail Thru Hike Journal

10:32 AM Status - To much time in the Laundromat

Hi Friends Of The IAT, 

I didn’t actually talk to John today; he called me and left a message while I was working out at the athletic club.  He was calling from the Laundromat in Cornell, WI (Map 96e) where he was drying out his clothes and wet gear from all the rain they were getting in north western Wisconsin.  In fact he said he did the samething yesterday in Gillman, WI.  He said he got pretty wet and was just trying to get out of the rain.  He sounds extremely upbeat about his situation, really positive about his hike.  Tonight he will be staying at Brunet Island State Park (Map 96e), plans to sleep in tomorrow and be back on the trail by 9:00-10:00 am.   Nancy Frank will be meeting him tonight.   Thank you Nancy and company for all of your fabulous support.  He plans on calling me in a couple of days from the Ice Age Interpretive Center (I think he means the Chippewa Moraine Reserve Visitor Center (Map 97e)). 

Happy Trails,
