Ice Age Trail, Day Five

Wednesday, May 6, 2026

14 miles today. Total miles so far: 83.

Feet felt better today, after a combination of lower miles, more breaks, softer trail and recovery time in the recliner at the Airbnb. The blister was concerning, but I bandaged it as well as I could and hoped for the best. Cold, overcast, and windy conditions continued, which was fine with me. Much of the day was spent on gentle, soft ski trails, with the open Timberland warming hut coming as a nice surprise. I stopped at a pottery studio and art gallery near the end of the day with the intention of picking out a present for Jeff to thank him for his help this week, but rather than carrying pottery along the trail, we stopped back in after he picked me up. Today was a better day overall.
