N8T - Bring on the Bridge II Special Event
The North Country National Scenic Trail crosses the Mackinac Straits Bridge between St. Ignace, Michigan and Mackinac City, Michigan. The bridge is open to pedestrian traffic one day per year - Labor Day. NCT hikers wanting to score this five mile trail segment need to hike it during this event.
The Hiawatha Shore-to-Shore chapter of the NCTA hosts this encampment each year to permit NCT hikers to gather for a few days of hiking and story swapping at the old county fair grounds near Moran, Michigan culminating in a group hike across the bridge. The HSS Chapter web is here: http://www.northcountrytrail.org/hss/index.htm .
Lake Effect ARC and Eastern UP ARC ( ) jointly sponsor the associated radio event. All hams, regardless of class, are welcome to take a turn at the mike and/or keyboard. Contact John, kc8ule (kc8ule@arrl.net) or Marv (kc8mld@lighthouse.net) for participation info.
