Re: camera

Hi, I am looking at the AW100, but its a pocketful of money. I was hoping to see how people like it before buying it, or if there is a comparable more economical one.

Re: Isle Royale books

yes......oh all the people I loaned it to a cardiac surgeon when he asked about the island. He never returned it and moved on to a different hospital. :( GRRRRRRR
It was my favorite to read and reread while on the trails

Re: Isle Royale books

Does anyone know the name of the paperback book that has all the trail descriptions in it? I loaned it to someone and never got it back, and now searching amazon and the national park site, I cannot find it.
