Re: Sunset Pics - 1/7/24

What is the URL for the "Rock Harbor Channel" webcam?
Are there others that are not on the webcam page?
There used to be a Snug Harbor cam during some construction but it was eventually taken down or turned off.

Mott Island tower. Tonight (year is "oops, it changed" :D ).
"Oops" here too. I missed the webcam header.

The DropBox method worked OK.

Very interesting that a Ranger would undertake such an endeavor.

Upload it to any one of a number of cloud services (Google Drive, One Drive, Drop Box, iCloud), designate it as shared and then post a link.

Re: National Park Service History Electronic Library & Archive (ISRO)

Wonderful index into all sorts of historic and pre-historic information.

After a quick browse I discovered that Pete Edisen had a chicken coop and also raised goats and pigs.

Re: TD vs. LTH

Todd is also my favorite CG. There's no dock at Little Todd so there's none of the "luxuries" of Todd. Still Little Todd is a favorite among many others due to more solitude I suspect. At Todd there is a nice water fall visible from the water, less than 1/2 mile SW of the CG. I've never been but ...

Re: New Food Storage Guidelines in Effect


It’s really not about hanging food. Wolfs are going though the trash at RH. Running off with packs only set in the ground for a few minutes. Wolves are smart. They can assess risk. And their assessment say there is no risk to being around human or running around their campgrounds or going through ...

Re: New Food Storage Guidelines in Effect


If people had more common sense and would have been hanging food bags as best practice this would be less an issue I feel.


I'm not necessarily disagreeing but I think there is a variety of other factors. The foundation of my rationale lies in the experience of the 50 previous years during which ...

Re: New Food Storage Guidelines in Effect

The news release included a statement that the Park has been doing some hazing of wolves approaching populated areas, but does not include any instructions for or how campers should react should a hungry wolf start acting like a campground fox or potentially more aggressive. Maybe it should borrow ...

Those are very substantial changes, effective immediately. Most people already in the transportation pipeline will not be able to completely comply.

Re: Impossible logistics

If the one night at Three Mile Campground becomes part of your solution, not yet mentioned is the RH Lodge (if open) will store gear for a modest fee. No food or fuel allowed.

Re: Aurora Borealis



I think I am cursed when it comes to the Aurora. I only ever saw them once when I lived in the UP. Last night, my neighbors all claimed they could see the lights, but standing outside with a clear sky I couldn't find a thing!


Next time (whenever that is), take a picture towards the north and ...
