Schoolcraft County Run
Headed up to the U.P. after work on Wednesday with the plan to knock off 5 counties over the weekend. Here I am on US-2 heading to Schoolcraft County.
I was racing against sundown, trying to get my run in before I lost the light. I had a plan to run in Blarney Park, but the map from “mapmyrun” didn’t match the actual route in that town. So I headed north to the next spot that I thought might be good, but it looked like private land. Finally, I headed up to Germfask, but the clouds looked intimidating.
I started my run heading east, but the road didn’t even appear on the iPhone map app. It was getting too late to stop, so I just ran on this road that the map didn’t recognize. I had to hurry so I could drive back about 20 miles to get to the campsite I planned to set up after the run.
Hard!
But even in the heavy rain, this county looked so beautiful.
- At this point, It was coming down hard and I wasn’t exactly sure if the path would be the same as what I had on my map.
Crossed a big river and it was still pouring.
It was a great site to see the water tower of Germfask!
Rain stopped as I got into the big town. This was looking North
Looking south
As I started running south, back towards my car, I could see a rainbow to the east. It was one of those double rainbows, and this was a special day for sure!
Continuing to the south, Completely stopped raining but there were puddles and I was soaked from head to toe!
I passed a campgroud on this road and thought that I might see if they have space after my run. That way I wouldn’t have to backtrack 15 miles.
When cars would pass by I would be running in deep puddles!
Turned out the campground was on this river and I was able to catch a spot that was on this river.
Made a new friend in the Morning.
This was the view from the edge of my lot, unreal! Big Cedar Campground, Kayak and canoe livery. Great Stay!
This will possibly be my fourth run on Memorial weekend. We’ll see how I feel Saturday Morning after running a few other counties.
