Re: Senter Point - May 2023

I'm pretty sure we spent a very pleasant evening telling stories around the fire pit at Siskiwit! I just didn't put two and two together until later. Oh my gosh! That was you and your wife? So, I guess we did cross paths! How awesome was that?! Two hours in front of the fire discussing the finer po...

Re: Senter Point - May 2023

My buddies and I were just there a few days ago. This was my second time visiting the site. Looks like our paths never crossed, dcclark. Maybe another time. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230530/aee805d86aa58f97e3da3294b54eb43b.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230530/4e7dd0a8e057b6c9eda3e8...

Re: any current moose/wolf counts?

The rangers are saying there are about 800 moose and thirty wolves on the island, but i have no idea if there is a basis in fact to these claims My buddies and I just got off of the island on May 28th. We were told by one of the employees that there were about 900 moose and twenty-some wolves. Ther...

Re: Smoke from Canada's forest fires

My buddy just shared this with me last night. These were taken in the northern part of the upper peninsula (Ontonagon). So, hopefully, the Canadian wildfire smoke has cleared the area. I'm hoping we see not only a sky full of stars and the Milky Way, but also some shimmering northern lights during t...

Re: early season conditions

I also would love to hear about the trails, as I will be there on May 24th. I will add my two cents upon my return.

I was wondering the same......

Re: Looking for Itinerary feedback

Regarding Lane Cove: that has become a popular site for people to hit so it may be full especially in mid-July. I stayed at Lane Cove two separate times and really enjoyed it. The only problem with it being a popular site is the long walk down and nowhere else to go if you arrive and find all of th...

Re: Looking for Itinerary feedback

Chickenbone East, IR's least favorite campground! It's not guaranteed to offer contemplative solitude, but it's not easy to get to, and people don't like staying there, due to the long water fetch. (I think it's .5 miles RT, and I know a hill is involved.) Although I've never camped there, I've wal...
