Re: Hiking Shoes?
A factor I always think of is that I often stub my toe while hiking, so a hard-shell toe box is a must.
Just something to think about. Who knows what factors you encounter that may come up.

Re: Favorite Mountain House meals
Beef stroganoff with some of the Idahoan instant potatoes (that comes in the $1 packet) mixed in is great.

Re: Campsite/shelter question
You can stay as long as the maximum nights allowed. Moskey & Daisy have a 3 night maximum consecutive night stay. See page 6 of the Greenstone for maximum nights allowed at each shelter/campsite: https://www.nps.gov/isro/planyourvisit/upload/2016-Greenstone.pdf I've stayed at different sites, left m...

Re: Submissions for PICTURE OF THE WEEK go here
Glad somebody else found my "secret" spot. Where's the cabin located? If you walk along the harbor's edge from the shelters towards Superior you will find it.
