| We arrived at Windigo at 12:30 p.m., registered our itinerary with the Park Service, and were on the trail by 1:00 p.m.. From Windigo we traveled counter clockwise 30 miles on the Feldtmann Loop. It was the longest hike my father and I had ever done. I'm so happy that my father could be part of this adventure.- Ed. |
