At a recent Butternut Valley Grange meeting, Nate Lull and partner Mike Packard shared their experience of the 120 mile AuSable River Canoe Marathon from Grayling to Oscoda, Michigan. The race began at 9pm and continued through the night into the next day.

Nate and Mike often practiced on the Butternut Creek which is similar to the river they raced. The 120 miles took Nate, Mike, and 95 other canoes through the Huron National Forest. This was Nate's first time canoeing at night. Mike loves to do this race and it was his 12th time. Their canoe weighed 35 pounds, equipped with a light and even a GPS.

The Butternut Valley Grange was a sponsor, and our name was displayed on the side of the canoe along with other sponsors.
