fire on east end
just back from the island on 8/24. The fire on the east end was growing and NPS is now actively fighting it. Sea plains were dropping water on it and i met forest firefighters in Windigo gearing up up to go to rock harbor. They said everything from 3 mile east was at risk, although the fire had not ...

Re: Update on IR water conditions
Now there is a bloom on Chickenbone, which is my first stop on my itinerary this wednesday. Time for a change in plan!

Re: TR: 7/31-8/8, 2021 [Hiking][FL, SB, SD, TH, MC, CH]
Thanks for the report. I get to the island on the 18th (CB-W, Hatchet, Malone, Ferry and Hugginin, and windigo), so the current info is useful.

Re: Decent instant coffee
Thanks, Hooky. That seems to be the prevailing opinion and I have no problems with it. I was curious because i have heard coffee grounds described as “black gold” for backyard compost piles.

What to buy with windfall at REI?
Let’s daydream. What would you buy with $500 in free money at REI?

Re: Tents in Shelters
I may be in the minority on this one. I have no problem with putting a tent up in a shelter. I have done so on very cold nights early or late in the season. It makes a huge difference. (I have never seen a need for the picnic table.). I suppose a tent does send a message of No Room at the Inn, but t...

Re: Sandals on Greenstone Ridge
Certainly, this is your decision and you should know best what works for you. The only caution i offer is that you will, at times, be miles from help and have some very long and painful days should the sandals not work out.

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. The “other guy” says hi, Jerry!

Re: latest on beaver damage
By asking my question, I am not suggesting NPS intervention. Just trying to get useful information out to hikers. I thought that was obvious, but perhaps not.

latest on beaver damage
I would be interested in the latest reports on where there is beaver damage on trails. I suspect everyone would like to hear about any trail. I am particularly interested in Todd to Hatchet and the trail to Malone Bay. Doing this in August. I may go MC to CB West to Hatchet if the trail from Todd to...

Re: Venture crew group trip
On the issue of critters, I have certainly seen the camp foxes sneaking around, but i never had any issues with any of the little thieves in my many trips. I always take simple precautions and have never had a need to hang anything. It is the one place where i store food in my tent (try explaining t...
