CarnageFest 2007 (Northern Wisconsin)

[IntrepidXJ]

Just realized I never posted any pictures from this trip here. So here you go I spent the weekend of September 21-23rd in northern Wisconsin near Lakewood. I hit up the trails at McCaslin Mountain and explored some of the Nicolet National Forest, including The Pipeline trail.

The Pipeline (9-21-07)

I met up with Kim on Friday morning and we quickly ran through The Pipeline in my Jeep since it wasn't very far.

Lucky for us, the colors had already started to change

rocky climb

in case you were wondering where the trail got it's name

some leafs turning a nice red

help keeping the trail open

found a little rock ledge to pose on

After running The Pipeline and heading back to the campground, we met up with a few guys from TIJA and took a short trail run down Machetti to play on some rocks on McCaslin Mountain

found some deep water on the way....
