Labor Day on the SHT 109   

All the campsites on the trail have a latrine. This one happened to be perfect timing….I won’t go into details.

http://game01doug.blogspot.com/2010/10/fall-backpacking-on-superior-hiking.html  I parked at Lutsen Mountains Ski Resort.  I took the shuttle up the shore 18 trail miles for my overnight trip. Started at Cascade River.

http://game01doug.blogspot.com/2011/09/three-days-solo-on-superior-hiking.html  I used the Superior Hiking Shuttle to get me from Cty Rd 6 up to Cook Cty Rd 1 on the Superior Hiking Trail. … That gave me a four weekend to hike about 35 miles. I ended up completing it in three days.
