Traffic on the forum has definitely slowed in recent years (Wish i could say the same about traffic on the island!). My thoughts exactly. Favorite Trail: Minong Trail between N. Desor and Little Todd. Rugged and Beautiful. It gives me the feeling that I look for when I visit, that I am so Far away ...

A large group of teenagers at Three Mile dock with a large (and loud) radio. No, they did not get there by boat, must have wanted their music bad enough to carry it from Rock Harbor.

Unfortunately, I've had a negative opinion about Three Mile ever since.

Great help. Thank You.

Thank You for the Info. This summers mission, visit that 'campsite on the ridge' location. WoW. Was that night 1, 2, or 3 location.

I noticed that map does not offer Topographic lines. Although not terribly important, I'd like to know what kind of elevation changes to expect.

X2, I would also be interested in any info (maps, routes, ect) I'v been wanting to do the Porkies, and this may be the year. This may be a good test run for the girlfriends rehabbed knee before another IR trip.

We crossed paths. I was the solo hiker the Float Plane was dropping off on Friday morning. I couldn't help but over hear you discussing with the pilot about hoping to catch a ride back at that time.

I was able to view the ISS fron the dock of Daisy Farms on my last trip (Aug of 13). There was a boater docked that advised the ISS was going to come over the horizon at 9:45. Almost to the minute it came over the horizon and moved across the sky at a quick pace. I believe it was going to circle ...

WoW..! Its neat to see the people in the background Oblivious as to what going on behind them.
