Hi all, Went and saw the film last night. Pretty good. John V gave a little talk before and then he and George Desort (filmmaker) did a Q&A afterwards. http://www.fortunatewilderness.com/ for info on future screenings and, eventually according to George, DVD copies for sale. Also a trailer to wa...

Dear Friends and Supporters, The wolf-moose project of Isle Royale needs your help. We are looking for volunteers to join Research Expeditions to be conducted during spring and summer of 2009. These expeditions are a vital aspect of the project’s field research and a truly unique opportunity to lear...

Here's my take based on very little knowledge: We just do not act like prey. When a wolf appears we go towards it, talk to it, point at it, call others over. We interact cooperatively, which I suspect the wolves can detect, since they do the same thing. Wolves also learn from their elders and humans...

The tandem was relatives of some friends. They were doing a loop from Duluth: Duluth - Grand Portage - Copper Harbor MI via Voyager/Queen - Duluth.

Hi Steve, I find that the Mountain House 2-serving are really more like 1 1/2 servings of entree only. A bit like going to a restaurant and getting lasagna with no salad, garlic bread, etc. The lodge restaurant has dinner for around $30/per person, mainly because of the NPS surcharge for utilities, ...

It's supposed to be closed mid-June to mid-July - probably best to check on tha status before planning on going there.

I would opt for the second night at Lane Cove and then hike directly to RH to catch the Queen at 2:45. Lane Cove is beautiful and you might want a down day after the hike from McCargoe.

If it's a paperback, just stick it in a plastic bag and hide it under a log (or a shelter). Chances are it will be there when you return.

Another consideration - at RH the washer is $6 and the dryer is 25c/cycle (not sure how many minutes) so might be cheaper to wash your clothes than to store clean ones.

Hi!

Just got back from the Island. The RH store takes credit cards for any purchases over $5.

Hi all,

I emailed Mark Romanski, Lead Biological Science Technician at the park and he replied:

Not correct, good catch, should be around 1928. I think what happened is they put the Lynx date in the wrong place, that should be 1981.

I will forward this to the proper authorities.

We have the cheapest Nokia phone Alltel offers on their prepaid plan and have always had success calling from the high points of the Greenstone and from the ridge behind Chippewa Harbor campground. We now always carry it for emergencies and to check in with our house-and-cat-watchers every few days....

Hi amazingdon,

I have MapTech at home that I can use to get lat/long or UTMs. If you have a dozen or so IR locations you want coordinates for, I can get them for you.
