Re: Winter Study update

....I wonder if global warming is also, contributing to the decline in the moose population. Moose really don't like warm weather. The moose in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (reintroduced in 1985) are at the south edge of their range. Isle Royale may be a bit better for moose, due to the being an isla...

Re: Winter Study update

The winter study was suspended on February 2nd. Unsafe ice conditions forced the team to return to the mainland. They may return this winter if cold weather returns. Very preliminary observations were that more moose calfs were noticed than last year. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/...

Re: Webcam Feedback

Purely by chance, I checked the IR webcams yesterday evening and caught this moonrise.

Re: Greenstone Ridge

Saw that. Wonder where they were dropped off? Mt. Ojibway is a long way from Windigo.

Re: Cultural Resource Management Plan

Pretty sure the Guest House is next to the Lodge (east) and is where you go to log onto the internet. Has a fireplace, couches, chairs, etc. Old photos on the wall, and some books too.

Edit: Also has an upstairs. Last time I was there, the stairway was roped off.

Re: Looking for a specific ISRO map

I have a Keweenaw County plat book (circa 2000). It only has a general map of Isle Royale, not anything detailed.

Re: Accessible Camping

......the Queen IV from Copper Harbor is probably the most comfortable choice. If it is to be Rock Harbor, I would like to figure out a way to spend at least two nights. I am not opposed to paying for a room, but I would rather not when we are comfortable camping. You may want to consider the Range...

Re: Accessible Camping

Also look at the Isle Royale National Park website. There's a page on "accessibility" (plan your visit>accessibility) that you may find helpful.
