anthonyp007	03/21/2018 09:00PM My wife did exactly that last year, but different EP’s. She went from EP 16-EP 19 on a mountain bike I picked up on Craigslist for free the week before our trip. That was about 7 miles. We stashed it in the woods, it worked out nicely.
twins	03/21/2018 08:36AM Thanks everyone. I'm thinking the bike would be best.
mvillasuso	03/20/2018 09:39PM I think you should stash a bike 50 yards from the road at the exit. A ride back to the car would be a breeze, and add to the adventure. 8 miles would be less than an hour on a bike, and biking is a great way to travel the Echo Trail. Cool road. Nice and shady, pretty flat, lots of places to rest and relax, and VERY LITTLE traffic. Ride on!
mr.barley	03/20/2018 07:50PM I gave a guy a ride to LIS once. We exited at the same time, so I gave him a ride to his vehicle . Wasn't going that way (was going to Ely), but I did it for good karma. May need some of that some day.
boonie	03/20/2018 03:42PM Teenda: "The entry points are approximately 8 to 8.5 miles apart on the Echo Trail" Yes, according to google earth, just about 8 miles. I did it one time from Moose River to Little Indian Sioux. It's a pretty easy jog/walk other than the distance. You may get a ride - I did the last 2 miles - but I wouldn't count on it since LISN is the last entry out there and not many people out that way otherwise.
mirth	03/20/2018 01:38PM You could bring a bike, drop your partner & gear off at the EP & then park the truck at the exit, bike back to the start. Hide it somewhere in the woods or chain it to a tree. Probably an easy hour bike ride versus a 3 hour hike.
Teenda	03/20/2018 12:55PM The entry points are approximately 8 to 8.5 miles apart on the Echo Trail
twins	03/20/2018 12:49PM I am considering going in entry 14 or 16 and exiting the other. This would mean a walk back to the truck. Anyone know about how far that would be?
