He was part of the Rock Harbor group, and I think he stayed at Daisy Farm. I don't know exactly what he did, but it seems like it was building and/or repairing things, possibly trail clearing. I know he wasn't there for the fires.

I'm catching up with the videos, through episode #6. Excellent work crossing the stream before Little Todd! Also, when I walked the trail early last summer in the same direction, I had a pratfall in more or less exactly the same place you did! It's not us --- it's a very local, very mild trail curse.

I am perfectly willing to accept that it's a trail curse and not clumsiness:) I think episode 7 is my favorite (up next for you!) - the storm at Little Todd. I did just put up episode 8 today - more on the Minong. It turns out these videos are a lot of work and are taking longer than I ever expected to get through!

“My grandfather was part of the CCC on Isle Royale”. Did you know there is a CCC monument in Snug Harbor, out on the point near the America dock. Kind of a restful, contemplative spot. Worth a quick stop when you’re in the area!

That was quite the report, I enjoyed it a lot.
You are an animal for completing that.

I went across last year for the first time, and cant wait to get back. I was proud of myself for just going across once.
Thanks for all the detail. I am researching my next trip.
Thanks.
