This year's visit saw the return of TC as my hiking partner. She was good enough to humor my desire to make time to visit Grand Portage National Monument . I spent a couple of hours wandering around the Heritage Center (which still requires face masks inside), the Ojibwe village re-creation, the can...

Got off the island at Windigo yesterday. Some of what I'm about to say will end up in the trip report. I ended up spending the last four nights at Washington Creek, so I had a chance to observe the rangers a bit more than usual. At first glance, I was disappointed that some long-time rangers were no...

It was toilet paper! Thank you for satisfying my curiosity! The webcam caught a small animal (pine marten or squirrel maybe) carrying white object, stopping on rock, then jumping off rock and dropping white object. Presumably the critter picked up the tp from where some hiker left it nearby. Maybe!...

Thank you for your entertaining and timely trip report! It has been useful as we consider some route changes.

We'll still be on the grid Sunday evening! Looking forward to it!

Thanks for the early-season trip report! We're headed for the Minong next week, which makes your snow report the most relevant part for us. Brrr!

The point overlooking Belle Isle Beach is an excellent reading and napping spot.

I'm full of torpified meeting envy!

Option 2 as well: - Lane Cove is nice. It is. The views aren't great. - As Ingo says, the views at Daisy are great. And if you're lucky, the Petersons will be there on a Thursday evening to talk about the wolf/moose study. At Daisy, Thursday is the traditional evening for these presentations. - I'd ...

Thanks!

In the May 16 video from the Greenstone Ridge , a small white spot appears around 0:22, first on a rock to the right of and below center, and then shortly moves off the rock. It is there still. Here's one right before it appeared . Here's the first frame in which it appeared . And here's the first f...

He's there as early as 7:15! And later there are two!

I'm relying on viewers using YouTube settings to slow them down.

I also affirm dcclark's feedback.

You may also want to consider taking a water taxi to Moskey upon arrival. That could open up some options.

I've been downloading Mott Island Dock photos as well, and it wasn't until April 27 that there were more than a handful of photos available.

See results for April 28 here.

I estimate a 20% chance of keeping up with the Mott Island Dock videos.

Island Mine in my experience is lovely. While it's not high on my list as a zero-day destination, I've done it and would do it again. And perhaps the best moose encounter I've had was at Island Mine.

Siskiwit Bay is worth spending extra time at. I look forward to returning someday.

Yes! Here is a bad scan of one I have laying around:



I like to put magnets on the back.
