Re: Itinerary Critique, General Help for First Time Trip
When do you plan on going? Not sure the concession operator allows overnight rentals of canoes/kayaks to get to Beaver Island.

Re: Water filter
I brought a Platypus gravity filter this trip. I also had my Basecamp filter (gravity) that uses a ceramic cartridge. We have been using this filter for a while and it has been reliable. I tried it at home ( helps to soak the cartridge) and it worked ok. Ran water through the cartridge ( new cartrid...

Re: TR 9/17/21-9/24/21

Re: TR 9/17/21-9/24/21

TR 9/17/21-9/24/21

Unloaded the kayaks and gear and awaited boarding instructions. After loading gear and checking in, we boarded the Que...
