Venture Out Women's Backpack Trip  Pictured Rock National Shoreline
Eleven women were part of 2009 Venture Out.  It was a great trip with good challenging hikes during the day, two lovely sunsets, swims in Superior, beautiful camping sites, and about 18 miles of walking along scenic pathways and vistas galore. Each one of you  made this trip very special and memorable. There was also  a wonderful drop-in by VO women from other trips-- Donna  Ahlberg, Stacy Harrison, and her baby, Gray. They hiked in three miles with Gray, 4 mths old, in a baby backpack.   Kudos to you for making a long quick trip to join us. You brought smiles to our faces.

This is a LONG way from the city.
Rest stops offered some great views.

Rest stops also provided a moment to close the eyes.

Nothing like a dip in cold Lake Superior to feel refreshed.
A favorite night time activity--watching the sunset.

Looking good for a day in the woods.
