I just read this same article and was going to post a link to it, but since the link is already here, I guess I will just comment. I, too, think this guy is way off base. The U.P. and Isle Royale have a lot of history behind them and they're not just a waste of money. Has anyone been through Munisin...

Nina, what an awesome experience! I'm jealous. When I saw your photos I immediately recognized the location because I have stayed in that same shelter myself, two times. I've been to the island eight times now and have never come close to seeing a wolf. You must have been thrilled! It's pretty funny...

My buddy (Hikerken in this forum) and I made another trip to Isle Royale this year. We were on the island from September 9-13, 2013. Two of our co-workers had always wanted to visit the island, but had never been able to make the trip a reality, so they came with us. The following is a synopsis of o...

I've been to the island 7 times now, soon to be an 8th (September 9-14, 2013). I've never seen or heard a wolf on the island, however, Isle Royale is more than just the wolves. It is the sum total of so many other things -- remote wilderness, lack of man-made noise (cars/traffic, horns, people yelli...

Mike, thanks for sharing the photos. I read Nancy's trip report and really felt like I was along for the trip with you guys through her photos and descriptions. I would love to see more of your pictures and some of your time lapse/video.

Nancy, thanks for posting your trip report--I really enjoyed it. Sounds like you definitely had a rare experience on the island and one that will be enjoyable to share with others for years to come.

I hiked Grand Island in July 2011 and it had some incredible views!

What a trip!! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad you eventually found your way.

What a sad story, especially at such a critical time in the wolves history.

I came across the hammockforums a couple weeks ago and I was astonished that there were so many topics on the forum and that there are over 15,000 members all talking about hammocks. There is definitely a lot of information over there.

I'm obviously not a biologist, nor do I have any formal training in genetics or other such fields of study, but from what I've read, I have to believe the limited gene pool and decades of in-breeding have contributed to their current state of health. I'm in no position to give percentages, but aside...

leeblue5, thanks for the info. I was just curious if many people used hammocks here because I don't recall ever seeing them on the island. My buddy and I have always used a tent or a shelter. Did you buy your whoopie slings or did you make them?

I picked up a new Black Diamond headlamp and some straps for my hammock. I also used my 20% discount that came in the mail for some clothes.

After recently becoming the owner of a portable hammock (ENO Doublenest) I thought of a question for the members of the Isle Royal forum. How many of you own a portable camping-style hammock (Eagles Nest Outfitters, Hennessy, Blackbird, etc), and second, have you ever used one on the island. When I ...

Mike, thanks for posting these GPS points. They are a nice reference to have.
