Re: Fortunate Wilderness: The Documentary

That's really odd. I just watched it too. As a matter of fact, I sent the link to my parents so they could watch it. I wonder if they saw it before it disappeared?

Re: Wolves vs Moose Showdown

Well, I guess I'll toss my uneducated (wolf theory) two cents into the debate. While we may not act like prey, wolves are a predatory, carnivorous animal. While there may not have been any serious human-wolf interactions to this point, I don't think we should wholeheartedly believe that it is not po...

Re: Rolf and John need your help!!

Wow, this would be amazing! I would love to do this but, it just will not work out for me. It would be an awesome learning experience and an honor to work alongside these people. And, you'd be able to say you were a small part of this 50+ year study at Isle Royale.

Re: Wolves and apples at Daisy Farm

So, the wolves enjoy fresh apples too, huh? I never knew that. I guess you do learn something new everyday.

Re: Malone Bay September 6th-14th

Sounds like you had a pretty good time on your kayak trip. I would like to paddle Isle Royale some day. I liked the photos as well. Pike fishing was one of my more memorable times on the island.

Re: Wolves vs Moose Showdown

Ya know, I can't exactly say that I disagree with that statement. I mean, look at how long backpackers have been visiting the island and most of those peopple never saw a wolf. I remember talking to a ranger about wolf sightings during my first trip to the island and I was told that there were peopl...

Re: Wolves vs Moose Showdown

It must have been very exciting to see those wolves and moose. You're right, it sounds like a trend that the wolves are becoming much less apprehensive of humans which is probably not a good sign. My buddy and I were last there in May 2007 and there were nowhere near the reports of wolf sightings an...

Re: Paddling Inner Lakes, Sep. 10-16

Thanks for the information. I've always wondered how people do a canoe/kayak trip. Do they use backpacks or store their gear in other containers? If they take a backpack, do they wear the pack and carry the boat in one trip or make separate trips for the pack(s)/gear and another trip for the boat(s)?

Re: Paddling Inner Lakes, Sep. 10-16

Great trip report and very nice photos. Some of those photos bring back great memories. I've always been interested in doing a paddling trip at I.R. like you did. It is still something I'd like to do at some point, however, it must be quite a pain when it comes to the portages. Some of them I've see...
