The Middle Coast
On July 9, 2018, Jacob Penning embarked northbound on a 4 week, 473 mile journey up the coast of Michigan. The hike spanned the entire west coast of the state from the Indiana border in the south to the Mackinac Bridge at the northernmost tip. This is the first documented story about the coast of Michigan being segment hiked in this way. As there is no actual trail, remaining on the coastline of Lake Michigan by hiking on the beach was the objective. The hike was achieved solo.
