This 5 mile trail run at Pinckney Recreation Area, 9:00 am, is a hash style run

-- one of hundreds of Go-Get Outdoors events taking place in State Parks around Michigan on July 23. No timing, goofy post-race snacks, beginner or advanced routes, and mugs to the first 144 entrants are part of the adventure. If you'd like to sample the famous Dances with Dirt trails, Embrace the Dirt is your chance. http://runningfit.com/ embracethedirt.cfm. Go-Get Outdoors events:

__/ MRN ON THE ROAD

Road travel to a family reunion took us to farmland, high plains, prairie, mountains, and canyons through Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota and Minnesota. Highlights were campfire on Cattle Creek in Colorado, raft trip on the Roaring Fork River, runs along Roaring Fork River trails-- complete with "cow pies" on the trail, and Elephant Head Lodge near Yellowstone.
