I hiked the IAT through Fond du Lac and Sheboygan Counties in a series of several day hikes starting the first in late autumn, completing the majority of miles in winter, and completing the last road walk shared with Manitowoc county in early spring. The fall burst with color from the many maples growing in the kettle moraine area. The trail provided quiet beauty and solitude in the winter months. As the leaf cover grew thin, my reward for hiking in the cold became more frequent deer sightings and views of the sun on the horizon through the now bare trees.

That's all for now. Let's get outdoors and keep our wild places wild!
