Potawatomi Trail
Potawatomi North Loop
My last day in Michigan.
Hiked with my brother, Sister-in-Law, and Bella.
We completed the northern portion of the Potawatomi Trail.
The northern portion of this trail is next to property owned by the University of Michigan.
They really don't want people in there with a 14' tall barbed wire fence around it.
Never realized there were Yurts in Michigan. There is a nice one on an inlet to Halfmoon Lake.
Once again perfect weather
