Hi everyone,
Our mini hiking trio is thinking about the minong next year. We had a great discussion with the ranger at Washington creek. Will there be anyone planning on a trek next year in september?

Hello everyone. We arrived iN Grand Portage at about 9pm on Saturday night. The only thing for miles with a room was the casino. It wasnt bad, nice room with a really comfortable bed and they give you a voucher for 5 bucks to blow in the slots. We drove down to the dock, so we would know where to go...

After a great discussion with the ranger on our down day at windigo, we have put plans in place already for next summer to tackle the minong from Mccargo Cove to windigo. I just need advice for a new stove, mines kinda caput. Mainly just for boiling water, pretty much use all dehydrated food. Im not...

Ok lesson learned, didnt bring enough mole skin. One must bring enough mole skin, to share and for yourself. There is always someone who needs something. Glad to share if I have it, but I didnt bring enough First time ever, had to use it myself.

since just returning, I think both stores are pretty equal in supplies. I even purchased a jacket that came in handy during the week to keep me warm at night. Very resonable priced. The sandwich was worth the $4.35, they are generous with the fillings and give you a brown bag deal, you get lettuce, ...

Most of the tables are moved into the shelters, very nice for cooking and card playing and reorganizing your pack. We moved tables in when we stayed in them. You won't regret a night where you can stretch out. sleep without the tent in these, it actually is nice

Hi
Just returned and I can tell you that if you spray once with deet, you should be good all day till dusk. At siskiwit and feldtman we had a bit of monster mosquitos.

A first aid kit is a necessity, I know from first hand experience, my son put his leatherman thru his leg working on his walking stick the first night here once. I know duct tape is a fix everything. A must have,. but what else have people found to be the must haves? As a emt I know what I may need,...

WHAT KIND OF SNAKE IS THIS????????????

Just a FYI !!!!! Last year we were held on the island for a whole day due to the queen not being able to get out of copper harbor to IR. We had depleated our food supply, and glad we had a few bucks to get a few things to hold us over. We almost got stuck on the island for another night. Boat arrive...

HI We hiked to West chickenbone last year from Daisy farm and when we got there we had no problem getting a great tent site with a "lake side "view. The only thing I did not like about this lake was the leeches. I was all but ready to jump in to get refreshed and the ranger came walking up...
