Day Eight Ice Age Trail
What A Workout!
Kettles in the rain and snow slowed my lofty mileage goal, along with cold hands and feet.
Next time I’ll remember my gloves!
I still don’t know how my Injinji toe socks magically disappeared in the night, but I did ‘MacGyver’ some sock cutouts to make the flip flops work.
GEOLOGICAL INFO:
The Kettle Moraine State Forest is a state forest in southeastern Wisconsin. The chief feature of the reserve is the Kettle Moraine, a highly glaciated area. The area contains very hilly terrain and glacial landforms, such as kettles, kames and eskers.
Kettles form when a block of stagnant ice (a serac) detaches from the glacier. Eventually, it becomes wholly or partially buried in sediment and slowly melts, leaving behind a pit.
On Day 9 you will see with more clear visibility, this distinct “Kettle” terrain from 18,000 to 15,000 years ago during the most recent glaciation.
Isn’t walking through history simply fascinating?
Buen Camino!

Some journeys are taken for adventure. Others… for meaning.
I’m embarking on a powerful expedition through Nepal and India—into the Himalayas, sacred spaces, and the early exploration of a humanitarian vision for children in need. This is a real-time journey of discovery, storytelling, and creation.
If you feel something stirring as you read this, you’re invited to follow along, receive updates, or become part of the journey as a patron. Enter the expedition here:
