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.

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.

Re: Looking for a specific ISRO map
