Summary
In September 2018, forum notices invited the public to follow Eric Strickler’s stand-up-paddleboard journey around Beaver Island’s newly dedicated Water Trail. The Beaver Island Music Festival sponsored the trip, and later posts linked a journey video.
Evidence limits
The live-track invitation and follow-up are contemporaneous community evidence, but the held thread does not preserve a complete track or independently verify that every advertised segment was completed.
Open questions
- Did Eric Strickler complete the full advertised stand-up-paddleboard route around the Water Trail?
- Where is the journey video the later posts linked, and does it document the full route?
If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
