Thanks for posting this, John.
Sad, troubling news.

Be happy to share a bit about our experience. I’d say much of it was expected, but a few things were surprises. I knew we’d spend most of the time walking around looking for moose bones, but I didn’t know that it would all be off-trail. In August, the vegetation is thick and quite challenging to navi ...

Did the August expedition (ferry from Houghton) last summer with my daughter and we are very grateful for having had the experience. Lots of great memories.

I've been wondering the same thing. Been 10 days since that 1st post. Don't even know if they made it on to the island.

Looks like the winter study is about to commence!

Hi THomas. Just got back from a week on the island (Aug 2-10). Blueberries were just peaking and we had our fill. Saw (and ate) a few ripe thimbleberries, but I'd say we were about a week too early for them. They should be ready when you get there. We were mostly west-central. LOTS of blueberries ...

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing.

Is it safe to assume there will be another winter study this year? If so, about when will it begin? My family and I love following the blog.

Thanks

The beautiful pics have really gotten me excited about my own trip to IR this coming August.

Thanks

Thanks, Johnhens, for your input and warm welcome to the boards.

Thank you both. I wasn't sure where exactly the headquarters was located in town. Helpful to know that it's right there where we'll catch the Ranger III. My daughter and I hope to be participating in a Moosewatch expedition in August, and will be arriving in Houghton a day early. Looking for things ...

Will be visiting IRNP this coming summer and am beginning to do some planning. Is there anything worth seeing at the park headquarters in Houghton, or is that just administrative offices?

Thanks
