SUMMARY:Annual Chili Feed Plus Hike | Spirit of the Woods\, Northwest Lower
  Peninsula Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Join the Spirit of the Woods Chapter for our Annual “Chili Fe
 ed” (plus hike\, ski or snowshoe) at Big M Cross Country Ski Trails on S
 aturday\, February 1\, at 10 a.m.\n\nWe plan to meet for a hike at 10 am. 
 We will have chili and hot chocolate in the wood-heated trail shelter at B
 ig M after the hike\, around noon. Please bring a potluck accompaniment or
  side dish to pass if you would like.\n\nBig M is on Udell Hills Road east
  of Manistee near the town of Wellston. Big M is listed on Google maps and
  this link will take you to a Google map of the Big M trails and trail she
 lter\, where we will meet after the hike.\n\nBig M has a website that will
  give you more information about the trail system. NOTE: There is a $5 day
  use fee\, or you can use the federal annual Forest Pass\, Interagency Pas
 s or Interagency Senior pass. Click here for details.\n\nHIKE NOTES: Gary 
 Hearing will lead the hike on the North Country Trail at 10 a.m. It will b
 e an out-and-back hike. We will base the hike distance on the participant'
 s wishes and trail conditions. This hike may be applied to the Hike 100 Ch
 allenge. We could use a volunteer to be the sweep (the person to bring up 
 the rear and do a shorter distance if there is interest). Snowshoes may be
  advisable depending on conditions on that day. If we have a freeze/thaw c
 ycle before the hike date\, you may be able to do fine with traction devic
 es on your boots. Please let Loren Bach (see below for contact info) know 
 that you plan to attend and for further info.\n\nThe meeting place for the
  hike is west of the Big M trails. We plan to meet where the trail crosses
  Madison road\, at the corner of Madison and Skocelas Road. We have been g
 etting large groups joining us for hikes\, so we would like you to park on
  Madison Road. If you can carpool that would be helpful to cut down on the
  number of cars. This link will bring you to an ArcGIS map of the area. Th
 e meeting place is approximately at Milepost 827.75. Click here for a Goog
 le Maps link to the start point of the hike.\n\nAlternatively\, you can br
 ing cross country skis and ski the Big M ski trails if there is snow. We n
 eed a leader to volunteer to lead a group to ski\, assuming we have skiabl
 e snow. (Check with Loren to find out about conditions.)\n\nSki conditions
  and maps are posted on the Big M website.\n\nFor questions or to RSVP ple
 ase contact Loren Bach at (231) 510-1983 or spw@northcountrytrail.org\n\nS
