In late May of 2019 Miyagi, Trips and the Wanderer took part in a three day, two night backpacking trip to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The three circumnavigated Beaver Lake, spending nights at Beaver Creek and Seven Mile campsites. Join the three in this two-part series.

Take a look at some of my backpacking gear below.
