My grandson told me yesterday, that in his bio class (he just finished his first year of college at a local college -UD), the professor lectured on the ISRO wolf/moose long term study. That lead to a lot of discussion on my trips to our favorite NP, this during the Mother's Day meal. Lots of trips ...

Many years ago, I was able to make two calls out of Malone Bay CG. I figured it must have been a satellite sending my calls to a tower in Minnesota, or somewhere.

I went out to Beaver Is. a couple of years ago. We had a row boat (rental). Going to and returning from that island, we had a lot of wind. Hopefully, if you go, it will be a calm day. We went right, then left and back to the right and then...Not much to see at that campground when we got there ...

Have I missed it? The stores, lodge and places to eat are staffed by a private company. I would think a portion of that private company's contract with the park, should include a payment to the Nation Park. Any lose of revenue by the boat companies, the float plane company(s), campgrounds in the UP ...

As an old man, as the other Jerry can verify, I had hoped I could make one more trip to this nice place (ISRO NP). I'm not a happy camper. I now hope they don't close down our National Forest and or Corp. of Engineer campgrounds. That would really p... me off!

I hope those that get to ISRO NP, in the early months of this season, will post the effects of the impact on our special park from what is happening in the DC. I'm also worried about the campgrounds in our National Forests and the Corp. of Engineer sites.

G. My bear proof container is not light. I need a screw driver or a dime to get into it. I've never had an issue with any animal with my food, except a grey jay that got a nut I dropped. It got it within seconds. Hmm, re-thinking my possible summer trip.

I figure I better not go to ISRO NP this year after all. I'm also worried about the campgrounds I depend upon, in our National Forests and those that are Corp. of Engineers. I'm old (born when FDR was our president). I'm not a happy camper, unless the NPs and other resources are open for our use ...

Back in 2001 a fox was called Steely Dan (us old ones enjoyed that 1) by a ranger. Not sure if this was the fox that stole everything it could. Shoes, clothing, food, equipment, etc. Also one year, there was a fox that was super skinny and didn't look too healthy. The staff was worried about it and ...

I plan to bring my bear proof container this year. I can't open it unless I have a dime or screw driver with me. I've had a number of foxes, over the years, sitting nearby, like they were wanting to be feed (like one of our pets).

Hmm! Maybe I should do the Superior Hiking Trail in NE Minnesota, instead of going to our special NP.

Thanks for the quick response! I found their chili to be unique. I guess that's not available anymore.

I haven't been on the Ranger in a few years. They used to have food/snacks, such as chili, ice cream and drinks, etc. How about now, do they provide anything recently?

I think I understand, that some of the new wolves are interested in our food. Do we need to bring something like my container that bears can't open? Do we need to hang our food in trees like I've done elsewhere? This is assuming I'm in a tent and not a shelter. Like many of you, over the years I ...

I forgot to mention how the geese didn't let me into my camp site at Moskey. Remember this is just as much their home as it's ours. Also, I came across some folks from SW Ohio. They acted like it was normal to see a guy who taught college classes in their area. This trip was one where I never got ...
