Ice Age Trail (Collegiate Rd to Tisch Mills Segment to Hillview Rd.)


I definitely bit off more than I could chew today.  The bike ride to where I began this segment (the "narrow bridge" sign on Collegiate Rd.) was pretty tough with a pretty strong north wind.  The hike itself was pretty interesting.  On Nuclear Rd. I had a stand off with a german shepherd that thankfully was eventually brought away by its owner.  The Tisch Mills Segment to the north was very soggy.  It gave me a great chance to test out my new hiking boots.
I then went through the small town of Tisch Mills was a nice small town.  On my way out of town I walked by a woman that let me know she had a stick.  I don't know if she was threatened by me or what.
The second part of the Tisch Mills Segment was nice, but I lost my sunglasses balancing on a downed log over the creek.  They should really consider putting a bridge in there.
The rest of the road connector was uneventful although I did spook an older gentleman and met the guy that allowed the East Twin River Segment to happen.

Ice Age Trail (Princl Rd. to Rockledge Rd.) Connector










 


 



 


 

 

Ice Age Trail (Mishicot Segment)


The first 1.5 miles of the trail was through some pretty muddy fields, but it wasn't awful.  The rest of the trail was through the small town of Mishicot, which was a nice little town, with a covered bridge and nice river walk.  This segment reminded me once again how nice it is that the IAT shows you places you would ever venture if it wasn't for the trail.
