Sledding in the UP of Michigan

So, after two long flights, a missing bag, quick visit with Tiff, Kurt, Kai, and Dane at Sonya and Cecil's house, and a 6 hour drive, I arrived to the UP last night. Everyone is recovering from a flu bug, so Kel and I did some final Christmas grocery shopping, and Addy and I got in some quality sled time.

So, Indra and the rest of his crew from Sabah Forestry Department took Ben and I on a tour for the day of Malua that included snakes, the Malua waterfall, Steph getting stuck in mud up to her waist. Ben and his passport/visa took an unexpected swim in the waters, but all in all the day could not have been better. We made it out safely, with a few extra tiger leaches and lot's of smiles.
