Bugs in June or July? Nah, they are practically non-existant

Re: Canoe Outfitter in the Copper Harbor Area
So basically from what I have gotten from you is that it is highly unlikely that I will find an outfitter that rents top notch kayaks or canoes with yolks that would be acceptable in the eyes of someone that is not a novice, at least not in Cooper Harbor or Houghton? Also for a first water trip at ...

Re: Cheap motels in Houghton?
Thanks for your update of the travelodge. Seems like an A-ok place and that you were satisfied. Ill definitely consider it before I book the Super 8 in October.

Re: George Desort's next Documentary
I wanted to pledge $25 so I could assist with the project and be one of the first in line to get the DVD. I tried clicking the pledge button, but just as it says on the site, the pledging period appears to have ended. Does anyone know when the DVD is expected to be due out and if I can pre-order it ...

Re: Wolf population is at risk (News article)
Thank you for educating me on matters Capt. Don. How large is the wolf population estimated at as of right now? Reducing the population by 400 wolves seems like a lot, but then again, like I said, I don't know how large the actual population is as of currently. P.S. My girlfriend and I are riding on ...

Re: July 13th, 2012 Chicago Trip
Just as a heads up, I have gotten a reply from two individuals saying that they might be interested in doing a trip together. I'd like to make my reservations as soon as possible, because I want things out of the way and because I have a promotion going on with my credit card that ends sometime in ...

Re: Canoe Outfitter in the Copper Harbor Area
I'm a novice when it comes to kayaking and canoing. Can you explain how the yolk would affect the portage of the vessel. I think I follow you on the Kevlar, because that is a lighter material in comparison to the alumminum ones I am assuming are offered at Rock Harbor. Correct?

Re: Wolf population is at risk (News article)
I'm surprised that they actually are allowing the wolf to be hunted in Minnesota. Excuse my ignorance on matters, but I don't believe wolves are over infesting the area are they? This isn't a matter of elminating over-population of the wolves correct? Regardless of the matter, do people even eat ...

Re: Greenstone: Three Mile or Lane Cove East to Lookout Loui
Thanks Jerry for taking the time to develop that beautiful picturesque scene of things as you recalled walking the trail. I felt like I was taken to the island for a brief moment. Especially with the mention about the numerous birds flying around and the grasshopers on the 80+ degree day you decided ...

Re: Backcountry Hiking...Thoughts and Advice Please.
Hey Inca. Something you said really got me: ...but after a tough backcountry hike there is nothing better than the privacy of a backcountry site. I truly believe you would be correct. I never thought of the seclusion and privacy one can experience by backcountring there way into an undesignated ...

Everyone knows about the regular priced discount, but not all are aware of the outlet deal. I don't have the code on me, but it is some ...

Re: Free access to National Forests coming?
Personally, I don't mind paying the fees to use any park or N.F. Even if you are already paying a fee to use a park or a NF? Technically, you're paying twice. What do you mean by paying twice. I don't count paying to get there and paying for a permit as paying twice if that is what you mean. I ...

Re: MN to have wolf hunting and trapping in 2012
Not good. Hopefully if the wolves on Isle Royale become extinct, some of the ones from Minnesota will be scared into crossing an ice bridge to flee from those that win the lottery and are given the ability to hunt them. Unfortunately, while I am kidding, it would be nice if something caused some ...

Re: Whats the current wolf status?
Thats good to hear. I definitely hope the mother gave birth to more female offspring. Their survival could very well be resting on it.
