Re: Trip plans: Windigo, N Desor, Hatchet, Malone Bay
It was a magical little place, made even better because it was unexpected. I definitely recommend checking it out. Here's a photo with my wife and hiking partner for scale. The stream continues through the large boulders at the bottom and drains into a lowland area. The coordinates on the photo are...

Re: TR 5/23/23 - 5/29/23: Feldtmann & Huginnin spring loops [Links to blog posts]
I just finished reading your entire 2023 Isle Royale blog. Wow! What a great read. It brought back a lot of memories from my trip with Dane and Ken, especially when you described some of the very same things we encountered, one of which was the metal tags on the trees. I also got a laugh out of your...

Re: Northern Lights time lapse from Sept '22
First time seeing the northern lights, I was so stoked! I used my GoPro to film this time lapse! The red flashes on trees are people's head lamps of course. I set the short video to a recording I made of Clair De Lune! I've got a couple stills and other photos from the trip and other parks on my pa...

Re: Am I Crazy? Swim across Tobin Harbor as short cut?
Umm... NOT a good idea. For your sake and that of your family and friends, just do the few extra miles on foot; the risks far outweigh the benefits.

I have always loved maps, so I find these very fascinating. Thanks for sharing them.

Re: 2023 Winter Study results
That was an interesting read! I've been wondering when the numbers would finally be released.

Re: Crazy Idea to Circumnavigate the Island?
My buddies and I were there May 24 - May 28 (Feldtmann Loop). I, too, saw the box of cans outside of the Windigo store. There was a sign on the box that said they were free, but I think it was more of a joke... I picked up one or two of the cans, and they seemed to be empty. Sent from my SM-G781V us...

Ah, that sounds vaguely familiar about the Feldtmann trail shoreline. [emoji2369]

Re: Random thoughts and questions
As for question #3, I never wondered why people don't talk about that nice waterfall, but now that you mention it, I do wonder why it is never talked about. We stopped there for several minutes to take pictures and videos as well. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230604/4f6803358f2c7aed5ab04c94972...

Re: Random thoughts and questions
In regard to question #2... my buddies and I both wondered the same thing. After several minutes of discussion and brainstorming, we came up with the idea that maybe it was built so railway tracks could be laid on top during the copper mining days. That would provide a stable and elevated route for ...

Re: Random thoughts and questions
Hello again, dcclark! In regard to question #1 and the triangular notches... I wondered the same thing, but I think I figured out the answer. The triangular notches provide a flat surface through which to drive spikes into the logs below it. A rounded surface (without the notch) may make it more dif...
