I am considering a backpacking trip to Pictured Rocks this spring. Thanks for the information!

This is my list of parks I wish to visit, once I visit some of these parks I'm sure I will find others to fill the vacancies. 1) IR - I will be making a trip there in June 2) Glacier 3) Yosemite 4) Yellowstone-Tetons Went to Glacier NP in 2006 - had a great time. We had a short backpacking trip to ...

I'm pretty disappointed I missed this last night (Monday, 10/24/2011). I haven't seen the Northern Lights since around 1972. I hoped to see them on visits to Isle Royale but have not. Did anyone see them last night? Or on IR? "According to Triton College astronomer Dan Joyce, this was the Chica...

Thanks, Mike. I like the waves, but after spending a long stretch on the site, I just wanted to shut it off. Sometimes I have iTunes going, so there's a little sound competition. Maybe I missed it the first time, but I see you've explained the sound source on the first page and your plan to have a d...

Mike,

The museum was actually open. I don't see how anyone would get much out of the visit without the museum. The history ...

Is this the link?

Quite frankly, I hate it . Especially when they decide to take a bowie knife and carve the shelters up while they're defacing the walls with their permanent markers. Worst ones I've seen are up at McCargo Cove. If I wanted to look at this stuff, I'd just take another drive through SW Detroit. +1

Wow!! How did you get him to stand still like that? Thanks for posting this.

I agree with Captain Don. Get your mind on something else, a distraction.

Where's that picture? I've been staring at this for 2 days!

From Wikitravel: Its French name might lead you to pronounce it "eel roy-AL", but the common pronunciation is the very midwestern "ile ROY-ul". http://wikitravel.org/en/Isle_Royale Try this - interesting: Audio pronunciation for " Isle Royale " http://www.merriam-webste...

Poll doesn't work for me either.

But, it is ROYAL.

I bought a Jansport Ranier external frame in 2001 and have used it ever since. A friend borrowed it for the AT after using internals for the previous 2 backpacking trips and really liked it since it is so easy to pack and to find things. It may not be made anymore - see link for review. The point is...
