SUMMARY:Thru-Hiker Completion Party: Joan Young
DESCRIPTION:NCTA Spirit of the Woods Chapter member Joan Young will be fini
 shing her second hike of the entire North Country National Scenic Trail at
  the Timber Creek Trailhead on Sunday\, June 18 at about 2:00 p.m. (Note t
 his is Father’s Day!) There are several options to celebrate with her\, 
 you can choose any or all:\n\n 	Hike the last miles with her from the Cent
 erline Trailhead.\n 	Meet Joan at Timber Creek trailhead when she finishes
 .\n 	Meet for a BBQ pork and potluck gathering at the home of Barb and Sco
 tt Myckowiak\, which is near Irons\, Mich. (they live very near the Vince 
 Smith Bridge)\, approximately 20 minutes from Timber Creek.\n\n---\n\n 	Hi
 ke the last miles with Joan from Centerline Trailhead: As Joan posted in h
 er blog on April 27\, here are the tentative plans if you would like to hi
 ke with her. "On June 18 (a Sunday)\, in the early afternoon\, I will hike
  the final miles into Timber Creek (where US 10 crosses the trail at Michi
 gan mile 854.3). Anyone who wants to hike the final miles with me is welco
 me to do so\, but the issue is going to be parking. If I hike from Centerl
 ine Road (6 miles)\, that's a nice hiking distance\, but there is almost n
 owhere to park on that road. If I hike from 8th Street (3 miles)\, there i
 s a lot more parking\, but the distance is short and the road can be margi
 nal. Perhaps some people will park at Timber Creek and hike out to 8th St 
 to meet me and turn around to walk back with me. Or perhaps groups can car
 pool from Timber Creek to 8th St."Addendum for those planning to hike with
  Joan\, “People can hike either from Centerline (departure time 11:30) o
 r from 8th St (estimated time of crossing at 12:45). There is limited park
 ing on Centerline at a pull-through "deer camp" just east of the trail cro
 ssing. There is more parking on 8th St\, but the road to reach that locati
 on is rougher.” (Note: Accessing 8th St. from Mac Road to the east of th
 e NCT trailhead is a better road.) Joan plans to be at Timber Creek trailh
 ead for her finish at 2 pm. If you are wanting to hike the final miles wit
 h Joan it would be good to contact her so she can keep you in the detail l
 oop. That would also give Joan an idea of how many cars are going to be in
 volved. If you would like to hike with Joan\, please email her at jhyshark
 @gmail.com so that she can keep you updated and where you would like to jo
 in her. Since parking is limited\, carpooling would be a good idea.\n 	Man
 y of us will meet at Timber Creek to see her arrive and celebrate her fini
 sh.\n 	We are also hosting a BBQ pork and potluck dinner to honor her acco
 mplishment. Meet at Scott and Barb Myckowiak's: 4570 Anderson Road\, Irons
 \, MI 49644. (Note the recommended route is via Hamilton Road. The alterna
 tives aren't paved.) Please RSVP for the approximate number of people at t
 he dinner: spw@northcountrytrail.org by June 9 or call 231-510-1983. We al
 so ask that you bring potluck accompaniments such as salads\, desserts\, s
 ide dishes. However\; if you can’t RSVP\, but find yourself free to join
  us\, please do so.\n\nWe also may need a few volunteers on the day of the
  celebration. Please let me know if you can help: spw@northcountrytrail.or
