Re: Trip plans: Windigo, N Desor, Hatchet, Malone Bay
At what point during the season do you propose to go? Your suggested route could be enjoyable for the right person. Many find the Feldtmann loop more doable. You could also consider hiking from Windigo to Malone Bay via South Desor. The trail to Malone Bay is indeed one of the less-traveled routes. ...

Re: A comprehensive question
Of similar interest, George Desort made a documentary of paddling all the inland lakes, “Fifty Lakes One Island”. It’s been awhile since I watched, but I think he did it in a couple trips and not sure he made all the lakes. I bought that DVD several years ago and didn't watch it until just before h...

Re: Minong Water Sources
Also: you won't regret having something to flavor the water at Lake Desor. Lemon crystals work for me.

There might be. There might not be. Plant to carry what you'll need until you get to Washington Creek.

Re: A comprehensive question
Portages too, Kelly? That complicates the logistics considerably---but maybe if you recruit companions who are paddlers, you can hitch (and help with portaging!) for part of their trips. I didn't even know there were passage island trails---I guess I've never fully unfolded the NatGeo map. A very i...

Re: A comprehensive question
If I could only afford a way to give that a try next summer! For me, the time part is usually manageable. For that length of time, it would be nice to have different companions along the way, as it's unlikely that I'll find someone who can/wants to do the whole thing with me. Currently the standard...

Re: A comprehensive question
Huh. Was he in a hurry (or is that a whiff of a tale)? Did he bother to include Passage Island?
I'm exploring this intriguing idea. It seems doable at my usual pace if I have at least four weeks.

Re: Random thoughts and questions
3. Why have I never heard anyone mention the beautiful waterfall along the Feldtmann trail?[/b] There's a gorgeous spot where a beaver pond drains out over a wall of sandstone, making a lovely (and not tiny) waterfall. I swear I've never heard anyone mention it before! Maybe I'm just oblivious? So ...

The binder of information that torpified reference is also available here. I've found it to be quite thorough.

Re: License plate
TopCarrot: I really debated this one.
Ingo: lucky you!
I would have gotten the same for Michigan, but someone already has that.
So I went for this instead:
