Re: The forums have been updated...

On my iOS devices using Safari, it a single large picture with mist on the water (Smoke on the Water?). I use Windows 7 with I.E. 11 on my desktop and it is 3 smaller pictures, but does not include the mist. I'm just thankful to be able to use this forum, so you can invert the pics if you want and I...

Re: The 2016 Greenstone Park Newspaper is out

It's great to read The Greenstone. I've forwarded this to several people who are planning trips this year.

Thanks for posting, John.

Re: What national parks haven't you visited, but would like to?

Great pictures of the Porkies. I thought the descriptions and observations were completely accurate. I would add that the Lake Superior Trail was nearly impassably muddy even in mid summer. I would not take that trail again. I also agree that the Porkies are like IR but steeper trails. But the bigg...

Re: What national parks haven't you visited, but would like to?

Thank You for the Info. This summers mission, visit that 'campsite on the ridge' location. WoW. Was that night 1, 2, or 3 location. I noticed that map does not offer Topographic lines. Although not terribly important, I'd like to know what kind of elevation changes to expect. Glad you like the info...

Re: What national parks haven't you visited, but would like to?

This is a map of the November 6-8, 2015 backpacking trip to the Porcupine Mountains. We started at the Summit Peak scenic area and hiked down to Mirror Lake the first night. It rained and then snowed overnight, but there was just a trace of snow on the tent when we got up. We got a late start and le...

Re: What national parks haven't you visited, but would like to?

Yes, I will take any hints you have on the Porkies X2, I would also be interested in any info (maps, routes, ect) I'v been wanting to do the Porkies, and this may be the year. This may be a good test run for the girlfriends rehabbed knee before another IR trip. This is a map of the April 25-27, 201...

Re: Pictured Rocks!

It is a linear hike, but the bus service between munising and grand marais makes the logistics easy. http://www.altranbus.com/backpack.html It is relatively flat. The previous year I did 50 miles on the AT in VA with a few thousand feet of elevation gain/loss per day and that beat me up pretty bad ...

Re: Porkies 3 nighter?

Trap Hills can best be described as 'you will work for your views'. It was a cool trip but you need to be in decent shape.

Re: Pictured Rocks!

Thanks, odd man out! It looks fantastic. At this point, the only negative I can find is that the backpacking trail is straight (no loops) and relatively flat compared to the Porkies. I just saw an old post about Trap Hills in the UP and am checking that out. The UP has an amazing number of quality n...
