After our twelve hours of aggravation yesterday, Hubby and I were both too worn out to think about going riding today, so we just spent the day mostly resting. We did try to get a better satellite signal, but it stubbornly remained on only one, except when the wind was blowing in just the right direction, which allowed the second satellite to come in intermittently. Not really worried about it, we have a couple of hundred hours of recording already on the DVR! Mostly read and watched TV for the day, very quiet here, even though there are a number of other campers, but we're all so spread out, no one's bothering anyone else in the least. I walked over to a couple of the camps with some ladies in them, picking their brain about the trails, since I haven't been able to find any trail maps here at all, not on the internet, and not at the entrance kiosk. In fact, this is one of the few places we've been where the kiosk didn't at least have a map of the general area on it! As helpful as all the ladies were, I wasn't really able to glean too much that was useful, only that we clearly just had to go out and do some exploring. From what I can gather, there is a Shore-to-Shore trail that uses the group campground for long treks across the state, but none of the other trails in this forest seem to be marked or mapped, even one down to the AuSable river, which would be the highlight of this forest. Well, that's why I have a mapping GPS, so we can always find our way back to camp. Finally did our chores and settled in for the evening, feeling much more relaxed, albeit a little concerned about the trails. We'll just have to worry about that tomorrow!
