TenaCity to WindyCity Runyak May 11, 2021 Flint to Chicago DAY 71 MOST PHOTOS WILL IMAGES WILL ENLARGE WHEN CLICKED I began this day with a 5 mile run along the beach from Millers Beach to the launch at Portage Lakefront, terminus of DAY 70. All the while, seeing that the water I'd be soon kayaking from was near perfect.                                       You can't ask for better paddle conditions on the Great Lakes              One of the many beaches at the southern end of Lake Michigan between steel mills Beaching at Miller Beach ending the morning leg of runyaking. With hourly parking and not knowing how long my van would be left, the van was parked a quarter mile away. We had food and beer onboard so never did go to the van, just ate at a picnic table. The afternoon leg was much longer. This wall at the southern end of Lake Michigan was nearly 2 ...

After finishing day on Day 14 Hope and I went to Tawas Point to checkout possible landings. There is a stat park and campground there. I remember our family spending a night there in the early 80s but I never walked to the end of the point. I was pleasantly surprised by the long sand spit. The place reminded me of the intercoastal area south of Ocean City MD. There is a lighthouse on Tawas Point which from most places can't be seen well. The boat launch at Gateway Park located at the south end of Tawas City Because the water was so calm I decided to paddle first and run later. Launch from Gateway Park Serene and Tranquil Click:  Here I have a 2 minute video taped when out on Tawas Bay Tawas Point from the water Paddling along the ...

TenaCity to WindyCity Runyak May 16, 2019 May 29, 2019 TenaCity 2 WindyCity DAY 25, May 16 Last October Kate Ferris and I aborted the upstream paddle when current was too strong. The above map shows where we aborted. Today my plan was to portage the rest of what was to be paddled that day. Since I did complete the run part of the runyak there was no need to run today. I had planned to do the drag portage earlier on April 28th. Hope and I drove there and I was going start the portage (where we ended in Oct was 0.40 of a mile upstream from where the portage would begin, which means I will need to subtract that distance from the runyak totals) as Hope drove the van back to McKinley Landing. Two-track Armstrong Trail was so untraveled that Hope said she wouldn't dare drive it for fear of getting stuck. I was able to drive it though and scoped out the unnamed landing at the end of  Armstrong. Here are a few photos from that day: Unnamed landing at end of Armstrong Trail H...
