What is the " rule " for dumping coffee grounds?
I attempt to be a total pack in pack out hiker but would like to know what others do with the used coffee grounds. Thanks

Thanks Richard!

Does anyone know for certain the number of consecutive nights a person can stay at a Washington Harbor shelter? I believe it is 2 but am not sure.
Thanks!

Thought I'd try something new this year. 5 days on the Isle in mid-May. The earliest I have hiked on my 8 trips to IR is July 1st and I really enjoy mid-Sept conditions. Anything I should be aware of other than the colder temps? Arriving Windigo on the 16th and assume not much will be open there ...

I've got a Nesco also - not real fast but it works well for being a thrift store bargain 15+ years ago. All the potato talk has me wanting to try my own. Fruit, fruit leathers,veggies, jerky and shrimp are some of my mainstays.

Another Buff head "rag" , I don't leave home without 'em!

I'm up for meeting folks from the forum; hopefully I'll be bidding on a kayak that Saturday at the auction. The Expo is a must for any outdoor enthusiast!

Thanks for the report! I'll be hiking the same area the last week of August and hoping many of the wildflowers will still be in bloom for photo opportunities.

My fondest memory is the return trip back to Grand Portage when my 12 year old daughter, on her first backpacking trip ever, was asked if she would like to "blow the horn" as we entered the harbor.
That was 10 years ago and she still has the certificate signed by our captain!
