Re: Brockway Mountain
Those squiggly lines in the middle of the basin indicate the failed Keweenaw Rift zone of about a billion years ago. That's also the reason there is a ton of copper/ Agates / other cool gems stones found in the Keweenaw (and Isle Royale).

Re: Porkies Trip Early May
Was that storm fairly localized, at least for ice? I saw pictures of snow farther north in the Keweenaw. Anyone know how far north this ice event went?

Re: ULA Equipment Backpacks
I have a Catalyst and love it. Its about ten years old. Been to the Porkies, NCT, Mt Rainier, Olympic National Park, Washington Coast. And countless day hikes.
My number 2 son also has one and used it on about a thousand miles of the PCT, he loves it.

Re: Unmapped Mines
Next to no chance it could happen. I spent my college days in Houghton at Da tech. Every free minute I had I was trompsing in the woods, usually looking for old mine tailing to satisfy a life long interest in rock hounding. Including a lot of time on snow with snowshoes on. (That was usually rabbit ...

I also need a new headlamp and maybe a DeLorme Missouri Atlas and Gazetteer, since I am living in St Louis now.
Lots of possibilities

Re: Old Trails
Very cool effort. Ill be watching the thread closely.
I probably wont get to the Island again until 2018, but if this is ongoing, Ill look to search for one of these trails. My 21 yr old would love it. (He usually goes with me on treks.........)

Re: Huron Mountains
But the real gem of the U.P. for bushwack camping is the Keweenaw. It is mostly private land as well but the whole mindset of the locals allows for careful and quiet use. There are numerous places you can hike through or into and then camp along Lake Superior while never bumping into another person ...

........I must have been on every two track west of the property. No dice, everything was blocked by very stout concrete pylons with very heavy chains and locks blocking the roads.

............I imagine the Huron Mountains would be a glorious destination if it was public land instead of a private reserve!
I was there back in 1978. Perhaps the most dramatic scenery in the State of Michigan. Rugged landscape with shear rock cliffs. Lots of old-growth timber too. Sadly, I was ...

Re: Hiking suggestions in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan
I am seriously looking into the Manistee River Trail. Are there any restrictions on camping along the NCT section? I'd like to break that stretch up. Also, there does not look like there is any reasonable access to water along the NCT section. It would be nice to get water but with a little ...
