Re: [OFFICIAL] 2015 bug report

Just got back from an end to end hike and didn't touch the bug stuff once. A couple mosquitoes here and there but they all died a flattening death.

Re: Nasty Weather

Monday the 24th the boats did not run. The Voyageur made a full run on the 25th. i.e. complete circumnavigation. Sunday/Monday was a lot of fun up on the ridge. Thank god for rain gear. The last 2 weeks have been interesting.

Re: IR Shaped Cribbage Board?

I have a UP shaped board does that count? The wife and I played a bunch on the island using a fold up board. It's the second trip for that board. We played a game in Rock Harbor with a couple guys that had a complete half board. Plain old rectangular board though.

Re: Web Cam Escape

That explains what people were talking about. News was Rock harbor and the nearby areas were loaded as heck. Nobody seemed to know what was going on. But then we weren't in the area. On the 22nd we were in Todd Harbor. Had the shelter and the whole campground to ourselves. Beats a meeting and festiv...

Re: Pack: Size and Weight Recommendations for 4-6 days on IR

I know the feeling. We drive up Sunday and out to the island on Monday. My clients will not be getting the best of me this week. :-) We're going to be on The Island 11 days and opted for a little larger packs. I'll be in an Osprey Aether 85 and the wife is in an Ariel 75. Sunday's weigh in was 49.4 ...

Re: Rock Harbor to Windigo the Long Way

Spending one night or or even several nights at only Chickenbone East campground would be HIGHLY preferable to spending that time anywhere not on The Island within that 464.15 mile radius of my house. Agreed. I spend my life buried in technology. My wife and I like to find places that remove us fro...

It's a GOOD thing. I do appreciate the suggestions.

I remember that hike into / out of Hatchet. It definitely got the blood pumping on the way out in the morning.

Re: Rock Harbor to Windigo the Long Way

OK, I'm beginning to see a lack of love for Chickenbone here. :-) Seriously, McCargoe makes for an interesting addition as well. My last trip was 3-mile->Moskey Basin->Chickenbone West->Hatchet->Desor South->Island Mine->Washington Creek. We saw McCargoe from the Voyager II on the way back. A night ...
