Re: Finishing early

Back in either 2010 or 2011, the V2 had room for my hiking parent and myself, one day early. That was from Windigo to Grand Portage.

Re: Itinerary feedback and questions

These folks (above) have said everything that is true. About a decade ago I did this trip. There were over 100 negative things on that trip. There had been a "blow down" of over 100 trees. I had to go under, thru and over those trees. That's not normal. Otherwise, I enjoyed the trail. Befo...

Re: Algae bloom at Richie, Chickenbone and Intermediate and Livermore

Any suggested books, articles about algal blooms. I'm considering another hike from McCargoe to Chippewa Harbor (hopefully) next year. I might have to hike directly from McCargoe again, to Chippewa Harbor. Especially, if I can't get water along the way. I'm curious about could the water be used earl...

Re: Fire ban

I've camped/hiked at ISRO NP for a week, without ever having to use a fire, to have a meal. Try to be creative. jerry

Re: Where to see a Moose?

After Labor Day (back in 2016), in the middle of the night, a bull moose, 4 nights in a row, walked thru my shelter area and kept bothering a cow that was in the Washington Creek. She was not interested in him at all.

JerryB (the other guy): I hope you, your son and any other family member(s) are all healthy. Maybe someday, I'll get to see you again at ISRO NP. Take care, jerry (the old guy).

Re: Campground question

Thanks folks! I've never been to Belle Island. I want to do it. I'm ready to get back to "normal". Maybe that's next year. Hoped I could do a trip around the Island this year. I'm the old Jerry, not the other guy. I might have to do the Hug. CG again.

Campground question

In a recent Trip Report I noticed that Wash. Creek had a lot of visitors/campers. My question is, now that we're at the end of June, are the campgrounds still having a lot of campers? I'm interested especially in Washington Creek, Belle Island and Rock Harbor CGs. Are they having a lot of folks and ...

Re: How early to arrive for the Queen Departure

About 3 or 4 years ago, a guy and his young daughter arrived (via taxi) about an hour before the Queen left. They were supposed to fly out. Make sure you have a pill or two for motion sickness. I shared mine with them, forgot to take mine. They and I had a nice trip and hike on the island. Enjoy you...
