June 2014 by ZIM
well heres the long and short. (plus one night at porcupine state park)
1 black bear with 3 small cubs then.....
Rock harbor to 3 mile, to daisy farm to moskey basin, to 3 mile to rock harbor, boat home.
total moose= 4
fox=2
frogs turtles loons ducks= many
mosquitos= to infinity and beyond and all their cousins
beautiful weather and met great people. If you want pictures let me know I have them, hard to post them here though.
100% deet at all times, and a deet lotion for hands and face, 0 degree sleeping bags and rain gear were our staples.
May I add, one blown out knee requiring a knee brace and hiking poles to walk at all.
Happy hiking

Re: June 2014 by ZIM
Hey Zim's rock on man. I hate mosquitoes, just as you do, but I'm sure that is second to your love for the island. So I hope that means you have a fantastic time, which by the sounds of it, you did
Love to see the pictures. How would you like to send them if you don't know how to post them here?

0 degree bag in June? I would have died... I was sweating in my 45 bag some nights.
Sounds like a great trip! Nice pictures, sorry about the knee. I have had that problem before it can really put a damper on the trip, hope you made the best of it.
