Re: Planning my second trip, first was about 9 years ago...

Well, last year didn't work out. Since this is the 10 year anniversary of my first (and only so far) visit, I am very serious about getting out this time around! Probably looking to do an early season trip like I was planning last time.

Planning my second trip, first was about 9 years ago...

I am in the early stages of planning my second trip, the first was about 9 years ago. In 2009, Isle Royale put me on a path to some serious life changes. I'm going back for another round of the good stuff.

Last time I went at the very end of the season. For 2018, I want to go when it opens!

Re: 9/18-25/2010: 1st trip to Isle Royale, surely not the la

After my English instructor had a chance to go over my paper she found numerous issues such as flopping verb tense. I made some corrections and want to share the final copy with you. I still have not done an actual TR for the time on the Isle and I am sorry to say that it probably won't happen. I am...

Re: Breakfast ideas

The 10 second dip sounds like the eggs are being "pasteurized". If so I have seen them for sale as such in the store, might be another option!

Yesssssir, it is!

I'll post a rough draft of the first segment on the 18th, my 1 year ISRO anniversary 8) It is a work in progress, but let me te...

Re: Lantern

I got one of these when they were on sale for only $2.49 shipped. Even at $3.80 they're still a great buy! http://www.meritline.com/11led-adjustable-camping-light-lantern-946---p-35838.aspx Shipping does take 2-3 weeks since these come over on the slow boat from China.

Re: trekking poles

I've been using 1 pole for most of my longer hikes, but I'm considering trying two on my next trip. In a pinch a pole could also be used as a self defense tool, hopefully that would never need to be the case!

Re: June 2010-Feldtmann>Island Mine>Hugginin Cove Loop

Thanks a lot for sharing! You seem to be lucky to have seen soooo many moose. I went for a week by myself last fall at the very end of the season. The island was practically deserted, yet I saw not a single moose. I did get some video footage of squirrels mating, while a 3rd party attacked though! :...
