Re: Gear & Supplies for August 2021 Trip

What I do want to know is what type of clothing should we be packing for August? I always bring light gloves and a light stocking cap. That is a year-round item I bring to Isle Royale for me.

I can't believe I'm just now seeing these pictures. The foliage in the fog is beautiful.

Re: AeroPress Go Coffee Maker

I am not much of a coffee drinker, but as a gadget person, I have wondered about how well this would actually work for a coffee afficionado. https://www.rei.com/product/784659/gsi-outdoors-ultralight-java-drip-coffee-maker It's very light and compact. I use this exact model and love it. I am a coff...

Re: Isle Royale Loons

It almost seems to me that loons are making a comeback everywhere. I saw some on the Duluth/Superior harbor the other day.

Re: July 3/4 in Campgrounds Near Windigo

Hugginin is small, so that could be full.

Feldtmann is a hike and will probably be ok.

Washington Creek is big but easily accessible, so it could be busy, but I still think you'll find a shelter.

Bottom line: The 4th isn't awful at Isle Royale.

Re: Combined Ferry Schedule - 2020?

Yes I just unsticking the post because it was for 2019. It's still out there and I would say the views indicate that it was a popular item. if you're up for making a new one for 2020, I would encourage it!

Re: June Trip Feedback

13 mile days! Wow, you're motivated. That's too long of days for me. Since you're going into Windigo and out of Rock you don't have many other options, though. The nice part is the Greenstone is an easy hike. The hike out of Hatchet Lake on Wednesday morning will be an ass-kicker though. Be prepared...
