Re: Itinerary questions

Thriding (?) the suggestion to stay a night at Chippewa...it's one of my favorite spots on the island. The harbor is beautiful when you're sitting down at the dock looking across the water at the cliff on the other side and seeing eagles or hawks playing around there. The hike thru the group campsit...

Re: Suggestions for the new year

johnhens: are you talking about another subforum for those types of conversations? Or just a generic web page with a list to other sites? Also, I agree with Tom regarding the rank for Capt Don...he's now promoted to a special rank. That should give him some more visibility and wisdom points here ;) ...

fonixmunkee - I have no suggestions, other than I can't seem to get the automatic login to automatically log me in each time. That's pretty minor. LarryL: Windows or Mac? Firefox or IE (or Safari, if a Mac). If on a Mac with IE or Firefox, clear your cookies and Temporary Internet files. Then resta...

Re: Wenonah - YAY!

This is definitely worth it's own thread, since this will really help people with their 2009 trip plans.

And I'd like to be the second to say "YAY" to this news as well!

Suggestions for the new year

Well, as I give a serious browse the IR forums for the first time in a while, I'm feeling like I need to do something to update them. So, I'll ask for suggestions/ideas/feedback. Anyone want to see anything added or changed with the forums? Anything at all...changes in the colors, make the navigatio...

Re: Isle Royale Photos - September 17-21 '07

The McCargoe cove mist pics and evening pics nearly brought a tear to my eye. Man, do I love that place. Thanks so much for sharing.

BTW, I updated the link in your original post, since that's the link most people are going to hit.

Re: Isle Royale on Facebook

Well, I'll just jump out in front of this one and say this is probably a good idea for the younger generation on this board (myself included), but I'm sure some of the older folks are asking "what's a Facebook?" I'm looking your way, johnhens :P So here's some help . I think it's probably ...

Re: Unexpected Consequence of Using This Forum

Good-nature ribbing is definitely part of a friendship, regardless if it's mostly cyber-based. This story certainly doesn't surprise me about johnhens. And yes, Trish is a terrific person as well. I could tell instantly when I was lucky enough to meet them for lunch this past summer. I think we cove...

Re: Granite Gear Packs

Well, it's step up, at least. You're right, maybe it's not "made in the USA" per se, but it's better than where they used to do their manufacturing (China).

With a military contract, however, you have to make stuff state-side. Maybe making things in PR is a way to skirt that issue...

Granite Gear Packs

I just saw this in the local paper today: http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/article/id/109672/ Very cool. I've always been a huge fan of Granite Gear stuff (just ask anyone who's been on this board), so this should help me in my quest to get others to see how great these packs are. Plus, it's v...
