I don't recall anyone reporting a wolf or wolves on a table. Did you tell anyone (Rolf or the NPS) about your sighting?
If not,they may be interested.

Years ago, while doing a checkout dive in WI, I came across what I thought were jellyfish. This immediately made me think I was 'having problems'.

We're planning a first-time trip that will run Monday, Sept 7 through Sunday, Sept 11 leaving from Grand Portage and a planned return from Malone Bay. We're in fairly good shape but I'm about 12 weeks pregnant, so looking to make sure we have lots of time to stop and hydrate and stay cool. We were ...

Thanks fonix !!!

Naked in the Stream Isle Royale Stories by Vic Foerster. This book chronicles his adventures on IR and elsewhere and includes an amazing story of ...

It is kind of a crapshoot. As warm as it has been, I would not be at all surprised if mosquitoes were still present particularly if the Island gets rain in the end of August.
I have been up there after Labor Day many times and some years no mosquitoes, some years a bit bothersome.

In the back of my mind, I have been trying to figure a way to get out there, but no good....so far. The summer has not been the same thinking abo...
