Haunted Hikes

I just picked up a book on haunted national park hikes. It included some stories on Isle Royale. It talks about ghost ships and Alice Mott. Has anyone else read this book? It is called Haunted Hikes.

I've had 2 cameras, a Nikon Coolpics, and a Fujifilm A850. Although the A850 takes better pictures than the Coolpics, the Coolpics operates smoother.
