Re: Random thoughts and questions

Ah, that sounds vaguely familiar about the Feldtmann trail shoreline. [emoji2369]

Re: Random thoughts and questions

As for question #3, I never wondered why people don't talk about that nice waterfall, but now that you mention it, I do wonder why it is never talked about. We stopped there for several minutes to take pictures and videos as well. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230604/4f6803358f2c7aed5ab04c94972...

Re: Random thoughts and questions

In regard to question #2... my buddies and I both wondered the same thing. After several minutes of discussion and brainstorming, we came up with the idea that maybe it was built so railway tracks could be laid on top during the copper mining days. That would provide a stable and elevated route for ...

Re: Random thoughts and questions

Hello again, dcclark! In regard to question #1 and the triangular notches... I wondered the same thing, but I think I figured out the answer. The triangular notches provide a flat surface through which to drive spikes into the logs below it. A rounded surface (without the notch) may make it more dif...

Re: Senter Point - May 2023

I'm pretty sure we spent a very pleasant evening telling stories around the fire pit at Siskiwit! I just didn't put two and two together until later. Oh my gosh! That was you and your wife? So, I guess we did cross paths! How awesome was that?! Two hours in front of the fire discussing the finer po...

Re: Senter Point - May 2023

My buddies and I were just there a few days ago. This was my second time visiting the site. Looks like our paths never crossed, dcclark. Maybe another time. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230530/aee805d86aa58f97e3da3294b54eb43b.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230530/4e7dd0a8e057b6c9eda3e8...

Re: any current moose/wolf counts?

The rangers are saying there are about 800 moose and thirty wolves on the island, but i have no idea if there is a basis in fact to these claims My buddies and I just got off of the island on May 28th. We were told by one of the employees that there were about 900 moose and twenty-some wolves. Ther...

Re: Smoke from Canada's forest fires

My buddy just shared this with me last night. These were taken in the northern part of the upper peninsula (Ontonagon). So, hopefully, the Canadian wildfire smoke has cleared the area. I'm hoping we see not only a sky full of stars and the Milky Way, but also some shimmering northern lights during t...

Re: early season conditions

I also would love to hear about the trails, as I will be there on May 24th. I will add my two cents upon my return.

I was wondering the same......
