I suppose some might, but I enjoy the company of others, even smelly hikers.

Re: Duncan Bay Dock

I honestly don't see much of this happening anytime soon. Building and removing concrete docks is expensive no matter where you are doing it. It will probably happen, but I doubt it will be anytime in the next 4 years. in all likelihood, I'll be camping at Duncan Bay this August. I sure hope there's...

Re: Duncan Bay Dock

It's been a while since I read it through, but it appears their (stated) goal is to create three separate experiences in the park: hiker, paddler and boater. And by separate I mean separate, keeping the mixing of the three groups to a minimum.

This is a mistake, I think.

Re: Duncan Bay Dock

From what I can gather from the WBMP, Duncan Bay will revert to a "wilderness" campsite. The dock, shelters, picnic table, and grill will all be removed. I suppose they'll leave the outhouse.

Thanks for the link. I have a copy, but didn't want to upload it because it's 16MB.

Re: Duncan Bay Dock

According to sections of the 2011 Wilderness and Backcountry Management Plan (WBMP): Implementation of the 1998 General Management Plan. Full implementation of Isle Royale’s GMP (1998) would continue, including the planned removal of the dock and break wall at Siskiwit Bay, removal of the docks at T...

Re: Favorite Boat only Campsite

I like Duncan Bay. Unfortunately, the dock is slated to be removed in the future.

We probably could have, if we'd have known early enough.

Back to the Sequester...

A PS ranger is claiming his Supervisors are instructing them to cut services the public would notice. Story here.

Re: A Nearly Waterless Beer Concentrate That Comes in Packet

I thought it was built into the upper third of the special carbonator BPA-free bottle. Yea, i was wondering the same thing... If the carbonator weighs1.5 to 2 lbs, I may as well pack a 4-pack of Sierra Nevada Torpedo Pale Ale (16 oz. cans). It was a joke. Did you notice the person doing the demonst...

Re: "Sequester" impact for Isle Royale

Is there still no alcohol allowed at mccargoe, chip, and siskiwit? Gotta know if I need to buy a camo flask with my REI dividend. :-) I don't ever recall a ban at Chipewa Harbor, but I believe the bans at McCargoe and Siskiwit are no longer in place. Nothing about an alcohol ban appears in the 2012...
