Coming in this Saturday, September 2nd. What are the bugs like?

Hi all! The wife and I are changing up our IR plans for a variety of reasons and are looking at splitting our 8 days on the island after 9-1 between two jaunts. Need your expertise to figure out what will work.

We are coming in from Grand Portage to Windigo. Thinking about getting off at McCargoe ...

My wife and I are coming up on September 1st out of Grand Portage, we will be starting our hike from Rock Harbor but know we'll stop at Windigo first. We'll be out for 6 nights, is there someplace to leave a package with some stuff at Windigo that we can pick up when we arrive back? Thanks

My wife and I are heading up in early September, we are having a discussion(argument)over extra shoes. We are planing on hiking from Rock Harbor to Windigo and she wants to know what people think about bringing extra shoes, I'm for having Crocs as camp shoes, she thinks she wants something she could ...

Does anyone know of a similar site to this dedicated to the Superior Hiking Trail, I'm looking for a forum on it.
Thanks

My wife and I are planning to hike the Greenstone Ridge Trail in September. If we were to start from the Hidden Lake Dock, what would be a good first nights camoing spot?

Alright folks, dumb question. My wife and I are thinking about hiking the Greenstone Ridge Trail next year, from east to west, and I'm wondering if you can only camp where the shelters are?

Thanks for the info. What about camping off trail if we don't make the campground?

My wife and I are going to hike the Greenstone Ridge Trail in May, from Sat-Thur(boat times). Our first night we plan on staying at Three-Mile, are we crazy for planning on getting to West Chicken Bone for the second night? If anyone has an idea on an itenerary I would like to see it.
Thanks

So, historically, what is the bug situation in late May/early June?

Thanks, we do actually have that map. Now the big question, historically, how bad are the bugs at the end of May-start of June?

My wife and I are planning to backpack the Greenstone. What is the best map?
