Re: Does 47 Year Ago Qualify as History?
My first visit was 1968. I have some slides (remember those?) someplace. Need to find them.

Re: Ice Bridge Forming?
Go to the University of Wisconsin website (below). Once today's map appears, click on the State of Michigan for a view of the Great Lakes area, then click on 250m resolution.

Re: Huginnin Cove Loop: Clockwise or Counterclockwise?
It was many years back, but we walked the trail counter-clockwise. Honestly, I can't recall terrain being an issue. Great trail though, I most liked the mile or so that you parallel the Lake Superior shoreline. On the north side of a ridge, the trail is largely in the shadows and cool and damp, with...

Re: Mystery Tracks
How about these tracks? This is from February 7th. My first guess was moose, but they have a snowshoe look to them. Could be, the winter research team got to the island on January 22nd. Maybe somebody went for a snowshoe hike.

Re: Memorial Day weekend
As for bugs around Memorial Day weekend, I spent time at Rock Harbor three or four years ago the week following Memorial Day, and hiked the Greenstone up to Mt. Franklin one afternoon. Absolutely no bugs anywhere along the Lake Superior shore (too cool), but I did find both mosquitoes and black flie...

MODIS imagery from February 13th. Prolonged sub-zero weather has made for a lot of ice.

Re: Passage Island Kayak Crossing
Thanks for the replies. We’re planning to paddle to Menagerie Island when we start out at Malone Bay and thought this may be a good addition once we make it east to end the trip on. We’ll see how weather goes and how distracted we get exploring. I have paddled over to Menagerie. Rocky coast, and ha...

On the Canadian side it is broke up and open water Not surprised. All it takes is one good wind event an...

Re: Ice Bridge Forming?
Don't know. Probably infrared, ultraviolet, etc. satellite imagery. They may "ground" truth some locations.backwoods doc wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 10:07 am...So how exactly do they come up with these estimates of ice thickness?
I'm guessing that they don't head out there with an ice auger and a tape measure...
