We were at Merrit Lane last August 2014 and the parks service were jack hammering a new latrine one inch at a time. We pulled in around 3 p.m. and two parks service rangers drenched in sweat had been at it for a week and were looking for at least a 8 ft hole. They looked to be about 5 ft into solid ...

But it still doesn't help solve the inbreeding problem, right? The current packs can continue to have pups, but the long-term health of the incoming animals is still in jeporady, correct? That lone wolf that wandered across 25ish years ago gave the existing packs a new breath of life, but again that...

Not clear on your post. First you said his thoughts were to let them die out, then he was for reintroduction. Is he still for reintroduction based on the moose clear cutting/eating one of their main food sources, the Balsam Fir? Based on his moose "growing" comments. Are IR moose adapting ...

Anything is possible with the right boat, weather window, skill and conditioning.

From Rock Harbor, in good weather less than an hour and a half. Bad weather under three if you're dodging behind islands for protection and into a head wind.

I agree with Tampico. You should have room for those tents or spread out if there aren't any visitors. No trails connect to this site, but it is popular with boaters. I've kayaked IR twice Most recently 3 weeks ago, and this was probably my least favorite near water site. Last time we were circumnav...
