Re: A comprehensive question
Yeah—even though I wrote both, the wordy version is easier to read. The spreadsheet serves a separate function.
You're right, I should have read the wordy version :D. (got confused at the end of the spreadsheet and thought it may not be finished).
I noticed you note a 1 night limit at Washington ...

Re: A comprehensive question
I'm exhausted just reading through the spreadsheet!
A couple thoughts related to paddling:
- FYI at Pickerel Cove the official portage is down the shoreline from the little beach on the Herring Bay side. It, and the sign, are about impossible to find and looks like a difficult takeout. I've always ...

Re: Two Campers Found Dead on IR
The OP on reddit said this morning that they've been contacted by the FBI, implying they are connected.

Re: Harbor Freight "Ammo" boxes for food storage?
50 Caliber Ammo Box is on the list under "Missoula Technical Development Center". But I wouldn't want to portage very far.

Re: Trip Report: Moosewatch 2025: May 10-18
Great detailed report! Thank you! Gives a wonderfully realistic view of what Moosewatch is all about. Something I'd love to be able to do, but I'm old and wise enough to know that's unrealistic (without regrettable consequences). Are you thinking ahead to next year ... or was this enough?

Re: Itinerary Help
Between Siskiwit Bay and Island Mine there's an old powder house from mining days on Senter Point. It's off-trail but if you search the forums you should find some discussion and tips on how to find it (have not done so myself). Also, not too far from Island Mine is a slag pile along the trail with ...

Re: Opening Crew Lands at Mott Island
And the Ranger III arrives! I count 7 boats that came over today, or maybe 8 if the one parked under the flag pole is amphibious

Re: Opening Crew Lands at Mott Island
It's also on the way now, so it should show up in a couple hrs.RedLeg wrote: Wed Apr 30, 2025 12:37 pm Don't look like the Ranger we caught docking last year!
Edit: I checked and it was 4/24 when I caught the Ranger III on the Mott island camera last season.

Re: IR Emergencies and what to do
I know there's been public WiFi at the Windigo pavilion for a couple years. From hiker reports, it seems that more and more folks are getting signals on the ridge, suggesting that carriers have improved their coverage and/or strength.

Re: Helicopter & activity on Mott Dock + Winter Study flights
Helicopter was moving food storage boxes out to campgrounds. The boxes were staged at several places around park this Fall and then slung to the nearby campgrounds by helicopter. Boxes are heavy, large and really difficult to move any distance by hand.. Helicopter got them close.. crews will carry ...

Re: 2 Nights Backpacking Suggestions
For an experienced backpacker, I'd also suggest Feldtmann Lake (~8 miles). Lost count of how many moose I saw there a few years ago at the beginning of June. It's a short walk to Rainbow Cove (great sunsets and beautiful in itself) and if you have the time and need more, you could hike a couple ...
