Re: Isle Royale 2021

I *think* it's the Indian Portage Trail, between Lake Ritchie and the Ridge. Although I have been on that trail it did not look familiar. Probably because it has been so long ago and/or I am getting older and my memory is not what it used to be! (Hoping to redress that in a few weeks, though.) I kn...

Re: Isle Royale 2021

Chief54, I could not make out what your picture was until I clicked on it to enlarge it. Very nice shot! I am sure you will take many more awesome pictures on your "two week assignment" to the Isle!

Re: Isle Royale 2021

Torpified, I am trying to remember where that section of trail is. Is it on the trail to Malone Bay?

Re: I just saw my first moose of the 2021 season

Good eye Ed! Thanks for sharing! I have been checking both the Webcams frequently but have yet to see any moose.

It was nice to see the Ranger docked at Mott Island yesterday. Looks like the island is awakening and the park employees are working hard to get things ready for all of us dirtbaggers!

Re: 7-Day Island Crossing

And remember, if you are traveling as a group of 7-10, there are other guidelines to consider.

Re: CPAP Machine

Any experience with a CPAP on IR? Oh!, I had a terrible experience. :( Back in June 2000, 4 of us made my first power boat trip with a good friend's boat. We mostly base camped out of Daisy Farm. My friend had a portable CPAP but all I remember about the unit is the battery died or broke the very f...

Re: Durston tent alternative?

I have a 2 person Go Lite tent that I bought a few years ago, mainly for backpacking the Minong. The tent and everything included weighs 3 pounds. It has a rain fly and foot print. It is supposedly a 2 person tent but would be tight with two people. It worked very well for me and my gear, as I am so...

Re: Minong Closed until June 15th

The Minong was our first choice last year and our first choice this year. Now it is next year's first choice. Ah, flexibility Back when I was still able to hike/climb mountains, I heeded the saying, " The mountain isn't going anywhere." On those days that the weather didn't look good or i...

Re: One word for Isle Royale National Park

But someday? Technology will steadily improve making cell phone transmitters easy and cheap to do....anywhere. But who knows when. Hopefully, not at Isle Royale though. I go to Isle Royale for lots of reasons. One reason is to get away from cell phones and computer screens. The island is special an...

Re: One word for Isle Royale National Park

I think there has been discussion about putting "tower or towers" At Ojibway and Ishpeming tower (not sure what would be needed to cover the park). I know there has been similar conversations at other parks (including Yellowstone). My concern is the person at the campground on their phone...
