Re: Feldtmann loop or not
Late to the conversation, but I did a modified loop that I really thought was great. Windigo > Feldtmann (side trip to sunset at Rainbow cove) > Siskiwit > S. Desor > Malone > VII back to Windigo/Grand Portage. Malone was a great experience and I'm glad I did it. Without starting or ending there, I...

Re: Water filter
I'm going to jump on this thread too. I see the national park recommends a purifier like bleach in addition to a filter. How many of you actually do that? I have a Sawyer Squeeze which has always been sufficient when viruses aren't a concern. Your squeeze will be fine. Personally, I believe the add...

Re: Great Lakes NPS songbird survey
I haven't read this yet, but anecdotally, here in Indiana we were instructed to take down all of our feeders this summer due to a mysterious illness causing deaths in songbirds. My understanding is that this was happening across the midwest and on the east coast. https://www.in.gov/dnr/fish-and-wild...

I agree. I assumed it would be much higher.treeplanter wrote: ↑Mon Nov 22, 2021 12:55 pm Finally had the chance to listen to this podcast. I thought it interesting that Island has had 6,400 visitors as of August. I figured it'd be more.

Re: Superior storm 11/11/21
I was pheasant hunting in SD this week. On Wednesday, the wind was out of the north gusting into the 70's and sustained in the 50's. It howled all night and Thursday it was only 40's/30's. Even the small stock ponds were whitecapping. I can't imagine what it was like on the lady.

Re: Isle Royale Presentation
Yes it is 7pm Pacific time. Chief, where do you live (in broad brush strokes)? My wife is from California and went to school/lived in San Luis Obispo for a few years. That central coast area is so beautiful. I've always enjoyed the visits to that area almost as much as the visits to the Sierras.

Re: Au Sable River
Finally got around to paddling the Au Sable last week 10/2 - 10/8. We put in at Grayling around 2 on Saturday afternoon and took out in Oscoda just after 5 on Friday for a total of 120 river miles. Fishing was slow, but the weather put us behind right out of the gate and we were always chasing. It d...
