Thank you John for your response. So a 3mm wetsuit would be adequate? I have read that you should dress for immersion and had thought 3mm was for warmer water. Would 5mm be overkill for paddling a canoe on Lake Superior in June?

Thank you Midwest Ed for the information on the HX300! I have been looking for the best price on that radio and have only found it for $150. I will check Hodges Marine.

It was my fourth trip to paradise and I did it solo. I went from Rock Harbor to Three Mile, Moskey Basin, Todd Harbor, North Lake ...

I am rooting for Isabelle!

Thank you very much for the information Vandy!

It looks like I will time my trip perfectly with the opening of the Windigo store.

Although I have been to Isle Royale a couple of times I am new to the forum. Can anyone tell me the 2012 season opening dates for the Windigo store and also the Rock Harbor grill/cafe? I am planning a trip across the island for June 6-12 and plan on leaving a resupply bag at the store for the last c...
