Re: 2 wolves cross to IR-then go back

Re: New Park Fee Collection method - Online now available!

Anybody know if they take credit or debit cards on the island for this fee? Is it cash only? I never have cash on me....always had to make a special point to get cash for the fee before.

Re: Ishpeming pt trail

Tom, I Believe you would be correct.Many people would want those plot points :) It would be fun to just get lost in the pickers...so to speak.Before ya know it we would have a new trail.

Re: Questions from a first timer...

I always strike out on the gas station/ trading post in the morning for coffe. It doesn't seem to open early enough.

No Windchill, I guess I got the wrong pack.You have a pretty good haul though.

I bet someone on here could recomend a good lunch stop in Superior Wi :)

Re: Ishpeming pt trail

Re: Questions from a first timer...

I would throw another vote to GP.The more you can eliminate murphy's law the better. Besides everyone is usually pretty psyced up anyway, so it puts you closer to the action. Other than that it sounds like a good trip plan.Should be a lot if fun! On a side note. I was just curious where your troop w...
