Re: Passage Island Kayak Crossing

Zebra11, did you ever make this crossing to Passage Island? I'm curious about your experience.

Once you land on the island, the most important thing is to show up for the boat at the end of your hike.

Probably the only trip on which I didn't make itinerary changes on the fly was my Belle Isle trip.

Re: Itinerary Feedback

Since you're taking the VII, I suggest disembarking at McCargoe Cove and forgoing the Feldtmann Loop (on this visit). Also orienting your departure location to Chippewa Harbor or Daisy Farm rather than Rock Harbor. and adjusting your itinerary towards that end. This gives you easier access to Todd H...

Re: Farewall, Windigo...hello Ozaagaatang

It will be interesting to see if other place name changes happen. And let's hope for a pronunciation guide!

Re: Where was I?

dcclark wins! I never noticed them, until one day a couple of years ago a shaft of sunlight hitting the box on the left attracted my attention. I'm impressed--I really thought that one would be harder.

@torpified for what it's worth, they're closer to Three Mile than to Daisy Farm.

Re: Where was I?

Senter Point?

I'll dig through some unpublished photos to see if I have anything slightly mysterious.

Also: what is the code for posting photos the way you just did it?

Re: A comprehensive question

"thorough hike" is WAAAAAY better than what I was about to suggest: A Minong Omnium --- or a Minongium for short (not that shortening anything is a desideratum!). I'm now calling it a Minong thorough hike. After a (uh) thorough review of the itinerary over the weekend, there are two sprea...

I like the nod to the French origins of the current name of the park.

And there it was, all the time, just waiting for the right person to notice!

Re: A comprehensive question

Yeah. I've really latched onto the idea of hiking all the trails in a single visit. I prefer a leisurely place, so there's no danger of me racing through the experience. Being there for over a month sounds like a great plan! And I'd like to be able to describe it in a couple of words, like through h...

Re: A comprehensive question

You're both right.

(And yet there is what the Ozark Trail intends to be (at least in Missouri) and and is not yet (also known as "I'm over-complicating this".) I think about through-hiking it as well.)

I too have already seen most of the island accessible by trail, and still I return.

Re: A comprehensive question

So let me ask a different but related question: What would you personally consider a through-hike of Isle Royale?
