Speaking from one newbie to another and one eagle to another. Went there first time last year with our Troop. *If time permits hike the Scoiville Trail, nice and scenic takes about and hour round trip before jumping on the boat and moving to Chippewa Harbor. *If either of you have bad wheels make su...

We stayed there this past June, rooms were clean the owners were friendly, though I will say that if anyone is allergic to smoke just be aware that at least to us it appeared that there were no non smoking rooms so some of the rooms do smell a tad smokey. But the rate is very reasonable and you are ...

Here you go Ingo, not a silly pic though sorry. The rangers thought it was a camera case, a wierd looking one little did they know that it was a fly fishing tacklebox being used as a camera/map/energy/money/binocular case

Cheapest solution, duct tape your feet. I wish I would duct taped my feet more. Everyspot I did not duct tape I got nasty blisters about 1.5 inches long on two of them and almost 4 weeks later still are healing. Those bandiad things work great but for a cheaper solution you can't go wrong with duct ...

Glad you enjoyed it, another Ohioan, welcome and yes Isle Royale much better in my perspective then Kings Island, more bang for your buck. For the cost of 5 days at kinds island it would be around 250 dollars plus parking plus meals, plus crowds and seeing the same things over and over and over agai...

My only regret is that I didn't get a chance to write down their names. I would have loved to send them some food along with a note of thanks once again. My memory with names is bad, and I tried asking the next day, but just like the Lone Ranger and Tanto, everyone wondered who were those masked ran...

First off, Isle Royale is a beautiful place probably as remote as you can get east of the Mississippi. Looking forward to going back. June 12-Left Ohio took the scenic route to Copper Harbor, Ohio through Indiana through Illinois through Wisconsin, then into the Upper Peninsula. I have to say I have...

Thanks for the suggestions. I went and tried the vest out, couldn't work it out with the straps, so I went with what my wife calls a murse. :evil: Basically a fly fishing chest holder, goes around your neck and has a chest strap. Now instead of looking like a poor man GI Joe or goofy, now I just loo...

Looked at the alice clips have no idea how in the world I would even get them to attach to the binoculars or camera. Looked for shoulder straps on but couldn't find anything. The only thing I could find was milirtary surplus leg holster like thing. Don't want to go to IR looking like a poor man's GI...

What are Alice Clips?

Never heard of them.

I have a question that maybe someone can help me out with. Only have one week left before we head up to Isle Royale and there are a couple of items I would like to take but accessibility is a problem. It seems like I am one of the few people left on the face of the planet still using an external fra...

Thanks for the links and the advice. It is greatly appreciated

That is not going to work. We are arriving Rock harbor On Sartday and making it to Wendigo Friday Night. According to that we would not get thier until after the ferry leaves and we would be marooned there until Monday.

Anyone have some solutions????

Thanks

Yes we did, Our group is going to be lean 3 scouts and 2 adults. Makes for cheaper transport getting there.

Thanks for the info!
