Re: Long Weekend Loop Midwest

I live right near the south/north kettle moraine. I could possibly shuttle you. The Ice age Alliance has an interactive map that shows where shelters and campgrounds are. If you can do about 12 miles on pretty easy trail, HWY 12 to Hwy 67 is a really nice hike. The points in the middle are shelters ...

Re: McCargoe to Chippewa Harbor

There is a small chance this trail will be changed to decommission the section that connects the lake Richie trail to the SE lake Richie portage access (the trail would travel from CH to lake Richie portage point). It seems like they will not close this trail but you may want to do it asap. It’s on ...

Re: wilderness stewardship plan overview

Alternative C: would mean "... implementing a camping reservation system ...", literally recreation.gov.

yes, I read somewhere in the full document that receation.gov would be used.

I was a bit on the edge about the reservation system at first, but then I remembered I plan all my trips nearly a ...

Super panoramic Photos from July

I wanted to share some unique images I took July. I brought a Pixel 7 pro, and the feature is called photosphere, and It is not available anymore. When I go back July 2025, I'll take some in Ozaagaateng and minong. (I'll take specific requests)

I’ve skimmed through most of the text in this book and it really is a complete source of information about the entire island. For $17 you can get a signed copy before official publication at Michigan trail maps. The only thing that was a bit disappointing is that non of the digital maps were ...

I was wondering if anyone else saw it and had any Idea why they cut down such a large area to the dirt. It ...
