Ultimate Hugh Heward Update #14

Hell's Chapel
.
Mark Reports 7:32pm
from the sleepy hamlet of Hell, MI


.
The Intrepid 4 have made their way to Hell, Michigan and are all tucked into The Dam Site Inn for a touch of the barley pop and pizza. It's my understanding that Jim Woodruff is there and buying!
.


Today's adventures brought a first for Toby Nipper. He got to paddle in snow!! Actually it was freezing rain / sleet
.
"I need a motorcycle helmet with a visor" Toby shouted to the group. More laughter...
.
My previous post was to inject some humor and color to the commentary but fact is stranger then fiction. Here we go; The truth be told -


.
Factoids:


.
  • Jon is on the move making the 7 or so mile portage this evening - did I mention the temperature will be in the low 30's with snow forecasted.

.

  • The Intrepid 4 are well into the cocktail hour eating pizza and talking story. There was a ceremonial tip of the paddle and a moment of silence for Jon's fortitude, but then somebody bought another round of drinks and they forgot all about him.
.


  • Toby and Charlie are sleeping in what is known as Hell's Chapel. The locals really play up the whole "Hell" moniker... and have Satin's den all made up for weddings and stuff. - Seriously you can't make this stuff up...
.
  • Tomorrow for adventure and 15 minutes of fame the boys are being treated to breakfast from the owner of the Screams Ice Cream & Halloween store. They'll beable to say hello to local "Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites" star Erik Reichenbach, the "ice-cream scooper from Hell," now that's what I am talking about.
