Howdy Everyone,

After years of car camping I am looking for something new. I took the plunge and purchased a modest bag, looking for a light weight tent (if someone has a suggestion I am open to one), and am working on planning out my first hike-in-over night camp.

Does anyone have a suggestion of a trail? I live in Mid Michigan (north of Detroit). I am looking for something my girlfriend and I can cut our teeth on with an over night trip. I am trying to keep the drive to 3 hours or less.

I have some experience day hiking, mostly in South Carolina, and Only about once a year. We'd do a 3 day weekend and no more than five miles each day.

Any pointers would be appreciated as well as a trail suggestion.

Thanks in advance!
