We are off Tomorrow to South Manitou Island. Located in Lake Michigan. Three days of basecamp day hiking. Back for three days then off to Isle Royale. Located in Lake Superior. Nice way to start Summer in Michigan. We only have two seasons here, Snow and road construction...

If you have time, check out Grand Island at Pictured Rocks. It's a 5 minute boat road from the launch in downtown Munising. Camp at Trout Bay. You wont regret it.

Back for three days then off to Isle Royale. Might be there in early September... tell us how the bugs were this early in the season. Oh..and why South Manitou instead of North? I've always avoided the south island because I didn't want to be told where to camp. |

Coolkat There were no bugs on South. Galeforce winds on Saturday. Bugs could not land on us, too windy. The ferry didnt run Saturday
we do this trip each spring for newby backpackers. And we tell the rangers where we are camping. North will be in October, much smaller group then...

2L of water + FOOD. 27# total weight. Not bad at all in my opinion. I hope you're getting up there before the bugs! |
