October 2: Fall Color Hike – MSU Kellogg Biological Station to Kellogg Forest; Kalamazoo
County
If you haven’t hiked the MSU Kellogg Biological section of our trail in the past two years, you will
find quite a different look, as much of the trail has been rerouted, and an extension to the north has
been added. We will hike from KBS through the Cheff Center forest, and then on to MSU Kellogg
Forest. After lunch, we may continue on to the Hutchinson property parking area in Augusta.
Breakfast will be at Duda’s, at 113 W. Michigan in Augusta at 8:00 AM. We will meet at the farm
road off of 39th Street at 9:00 AM to start the hike, after dropping cars at Kellogg Forest. This hike
is all North Country Trail, and qualifies for Hiker Challenge miles. We are not sure about
guaranteeing “Fall Color” at this time!
The Chief Noonday Chapter welcomes everyone to join us for any of our
meetings, hikes, or workday events. For more information, please contact Larry
Hawkins at 269-945-5398 or hawkeyemd@cablespeed.com, or see web site for
other contacts.

4th Quarter 2010
October 23: Work Day at Fort Custer Cemetery
We will be doing a little work at the Armstrong Road entrance area to correct for a section of trail
that was inadvertently located just downstream from a road culvert. Unfortunately, when the rains
come, they travel right down the trail, and it has become unacceptable for walking.
We will meet for breakfast in Augusta, at Duda’s, at 113 W. Michigan at 8:00 AM, and travel to the
work site at 9:00 AM.
November 6: Hike at Saugatuck Dunes State Park, Allegan County
The current plan is to meet for breakfast at 9:00 AM at the Burger King on Exit 41 off of I-196 (the
Saugatuck exit to Blue Star Highway). We will then begin our hike at about 10:00 AM, going north
one mile on 64th Street to 140th Avenue, then left one mile to the Felt Mansion township park. A
post hike lunch is contemplated at a local restaurant.
As noted, this is the current plan, and it may change. This is one for sure that you will want to let
Mick Hawkins know you are coming ahead of time, to get the latest info, and to be sure the hike
doesn’t leave without you. Email Mick at: webmaster.ncta-cnd2@comcast.net
[Webmaster update: The venue for this hike has been changed to the Saugatuck
Harbor Natural Area. Meet at the Kalico Kitchen at Ferry Street and Blue Star
Highway for breakfast at 9:00. Hike will start from the north end of the Oval Beach
parking area.]
November 20: Work Day
We are currently planning maintenance on our trailer equipment and perhaps some kiosk work for
this work date. Please check on our web site for more details as the date gets closer.
December 4: Hike the Marshall Riverwalk, and the Brooks Nature Area
We will meet for breakfast at the Country Kitchen Restaurant, north of Marshall, just off I-94 at 8:00
AM. More details soon on our web site.

REGISTER LOG – Kellogg Forest
Our register at Kellogg Forest is probably our
Chapter’s first register. Our first register log was
taken by someone who needed it more. We are
looking at identifying this more clearly so more
folks know it’s there. Below are all of the entries
we do have, interpreted as best as I can.
Please forgive the errors.
We look forward to your comments as we work
to expand this program. Mike Wilkey has
spruced up the register at the Hutchinson
parking lot, so check that out, too. Last names,
street addresses, and phone numbers will not
be included in the newsletter unless they are
CND Chapter contacts or nationally known
hikers.
The register at Kellogg Forest is mounted on the
kiosk just before crossing the bridge.

Jeff Fleming led a hike in the FCRA on a hot Saturday in July, and we had some new folks participating.
Thanks, Mick.
July 24: Work Day at Fort Custer
The project for this work day involved weed-whacking, lopping and trimming along the Ft. Custer trail
section. Quite a bit of work was done, but an electrical storm and equipment failures prevented a total
success. Thanks to Bob Cooley, Jeff Fleming, Mary Rebert, Bob Sulaski, Mick Hawkins, Eric
Longman, and Jim Heaton for your help on this.
Mark Bishop retires from Michigan DNR
Mark Bishop, who has been our liaison with the trail going through the Barry State Game Area, and the
Middleville State Game Area, has retired at the end of July. Mark has been a solid supporter of our Trail,
while also maintaining his advocacy for hunters, and we will miss him. Thanks for all your help, Mark.
August 21: Work Day for Blazing
A new wrinkle for our often postponed road-way blazing project: everyone showed up to work, and then it
rained. So, we distributed paint and assignments, and we each painted as individual schedules permitted
on later dates. Thanks to Jim Mackey, Jason Buckner, Mick Hawkins, Mike Wilkey, Linda Wilkey,
Larry Hawkins, Larry Pio, Jeff Fleming, and Ron Sootsman for helping to show the way for through
hikers.
September 6: Middleville non-competitive Volksmarch Bridge and Trail Walk
86 walkers participated in this year’s Labor Day Bridge Walk in Middleville. Cal and Jean Lamoreaux lead
this event, which was helped by Jean’s work to gain exposure on Channel 8, and 3 times in the Grand
Rapids Press. Jean noted one walker asked for a signed acknowledgement of her walk, so she could get
a pretty nice discount on her health insurance. Check that out on your policy!

Joan Young has her DAY
Joan Young finished the North Country Trail this summer, after hiking it in sections over the past several
years. At our Annual Conference, Bruce Matthews proclaimed Joan Young Day, as he listed many of the
things Joan has done for the North Country Trail. Joan has been extremely active at all levels on our trail,
and did the NCTA web site for many years. She now writes a blog,
http://www.northcountrytrailnews.blogspot.com , which features a lot of news about the North Country Trail
and issues that affect the trail. Joan has been a past speaker at the Chief Noonday Chapter, but these
days requests for her talks are more frequent, and usually include book signings of her “North Country
Cache: Adventures on a National Scenic Trail”.
Joan is not often speaking in our area, but will be in Holland on November 5 presenting ”High Hopes
Wearing Sweaty Socks”, her slide program on hiking the North Country Trail. For more information on the
Holland visit, and other Joan presentations, see http://www.booksleavingfootprints.com/meetauthor.htm .

CND Hiker Challenge 2010: 774.71 miles hiked by CND in 2010
Competition is well underway for the Chief Noonday Chapter Hiker Challenge Cup, version 2010. The
basic challenge is to see who can hike the most miles on the North Country Trail in 2010. The complete
rules can be seen on our web site, but here is a summary:
1. You must be a member of the Chief Noonday Chapter at some point during the year.
2. Only North Country Trail miles can be counted. A segment can be counted only once during the year.
3. Cross country skiing is a legitimate mode of hiking. After all, our goal is to get people on the trail.
4. If you can find someone to push your wheelchair, that will count for both of you. See goal in item 3.
5. Report your miles, and segment ID, to me in person, or via email to nalcoman1@aol.com with the
subject CND Hiker Challenge mileage, or by mail to: Larry Pio; 2409 Woody Noll; Portage, MI 49002.
Our top 10 leaders as of
9/28/10 are:
Ron Sootsman – 258.69
Bob Sulaski – 109.9
Jim Burgess – 73.15
Mick Hawkins – 57.6
Mary Rebert – 36.5
Mike Wilkey – 30.0
Linda Sootsman – 27.77
Larry Hawkins – 27.1
Jason Buckner – 26.5
Larry Pio – 21.0
We have 26 hikers with mileage noted so far in 2010; its not too late for you to start too. As noted in the
title, we have 774.71 miles so far in 2010; I think 1200 miles for our group would be a great goal.
Our TRAIL DEPUTY REPORT project, where our hikers can report trail conditions, signage, blazing, etc.,
has gotten off to a slow start. I would like to thank Bob Sulaski for his efforts as a Trail Deputy.
These reports are useful to us to keep up on where our trail needs extra work, and gives hikers filling
them out extra volunteer hours. A link to this form is found on our HIKER CHALLENGE web page, in the
VOLUNTEER HOURS box at the bottom of the page. Send your completed form to Larry Pio. Please
note: this form is not required for your report. It is useful as a list of items to evaluate, which can be
summarized in an email if you wish. Thanks for your help in keeping our trail as good as it can be.
Receive the Chief Noonday Chapter newsletter via email. Contact Larry Pio at nalcoman1@aol.com.
