I might cross paths with you are your first day. Keep an eye out for me and my white Hyperlite Mountainneering Gear backpack. Hope you and your friends have a good time either way.

Good to see you on here. Enjoy your hike. Not in the cards for me this season, so please post a report so I can live vicariously through you.
So good to see you hooky. Sorry it’s not in the cards to go this season. I will definitely try to post a trip report when I get back. When was the last time you went to the island?

So, it looks like my buddies and I could possibly cross paths with dcclark AND Rafiki somewhere along the Feldtmann Loop and Huginnin. I'll have to keep an eye open for you guys. I guess I'll be asking everyone I meet.... "Hey, are you Rafiki? Are you dcclark?" Image

Be sure to say hi! I'll be carrying a bright red SWD (Superior Wilderness Designs) pack. There will be two, my wife (purple pack) and me.

Way too long ago. 2020 was cancelled for the obvious reasons and then last year's trip was scrapped at the last minute because of weather delays and issues with the Queen causing them to cancel the remainder of the season. It did give us a chance to explore every inch of Copper Harbor and then do an impromptu trip to Pictured Rocks, so not a complete loss.

Headed to Mt. Zirkle Wilderness area this year and will try ISRO next year.
