Backpacking the Manistee River Trail Loop - Day 2

Day 2 on the Manistee River Trail Loop, we awoke early and after some coffee and breakfast, we broke down camp and headed across "Little Mac", the newly repaired suspension bridge crossing the Manistee River. We enjoyed many views though the 9 miles we hiked and got to camp early and enjoyed a lazy afternoon. The storms rolled in and despite some thunder and lightning, it quickly departed and we enjoyed a nice fire, a nice dinner as well as enjoyed creme brulee for the official birthday celebration for Glenn's birthday!
