Re: Isle Royale Named to Best of the World List
I am always careful about who I tell about the Isle. I guess I am selfish that way. I know our national parks are here for everyone, but I only tell those I know who care about our wild places and respect “leave no trace” ethics. In fact, I dislike how people use technology to promote themselves and...

The registration was still active in 2017 although it's airworthiness appears in doubt. Ed, seeing that picture and reading your post reminded of why I went skydiving a while back! At the airport I flew out of, there was a plane with its nose planted into the ground and a sign that said "Learn...

Glitch99, I apologize for hijacking your thread. Sometimes when I am teaching my high school students, I get sidetracked; sometimes it really is a teachable moment, but often it is not! I am glad you are finding your back to the Isle! I think you will be making more than just this one trip! The isla...

Torpified, I sent you a PM.I'm afraid that it's philosophy, the field where language goes to die. It's a long shot that I know your student, kolo -- but it's also a long shot that we'd meet, in person, twice, on IR, and we have! So PM me their name and I'll see if it rings a bell.

Re: 2021 Hiking Trip Plan Windigo to RH - looking for feedback & suggestions
"Canoodling" is a uniquely Dr. Torpified term, at least on this board! (We have the same general profession, although I like the way Dr. T describes it: "13th to 25th grade teacher".) I am slowly putting the pieces together. Does Dr. Torpified teach at the University of Michigan...

+1 on what Ed and Bobcat said about that stretch of the Minong being the easiest section. It is OK to be intimidated by the Minong, but you will do just fine as long as you are "backpacking fit!" Ed, and I thought I was dating myself! :) I would have liked to have seen BTO back in their he...

Re: 2021 Hiking Trip Plan Windigo to RH - looking for feedback & suggestions
And yes, I grew up listening to Seger - ‘Live’ Bullet on vinyl. Still on my bucket list to see him live in concert if we ever get things back to normal around here I probably shouldn't tell you this as it is still on your bucket list, but I have been fortunate to have seen him in concert six times ...

I forgot to ask. Since you are from the Detroit area, are you a Bob Seger fan? I am from North Dakota and I am one of the biggest Bob Seger fans out there!Drive Detroit area to Hancock

Re: 2021 Hiking Trip Plan Windigo to RH - looking for feedback & suggestions
It looks like you have done a lot of research and your planning looks good! I don't think you can go wrong with either McCargoe Cove or West Chickenbone. McCargoe Cove is a favorite among the veterans and I am sure others will comment on this. I like both camping areas. My only suggestion is to go w...

Re: Edmund Fitzgerald Storm
Thank you for posting this John! It was very interesting to read. The sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the passing of 29 souls aboard the ship was a truly tragic loss and very sad. I was 11 years old when I first heard Gordon Lightfoot's song about the Edmund Fitzgerald and I have been intereste...
