A few years ago I paddled the Manistique River from Germfask to Lake Michigan. I looked at possibilities of starting even farther north in the west or east branch of the Fox River. I was told by Nortland Outfitters the east branch is impassable by canoe to the Manistique R. I believe by fall...
Viking,
I haven't paddled that river, but it's on my short list and would love to do so from the Peshekee to Lake Michigan. I'm headed to Alaska in a week and will be there till October, but hopefully next year I'll cross that one off.
On a side note. I'll finish this trip report in the next...
This fall I finally got to do a trip I've wanted to do for a very long time.... Roadends attempted getting into this area a while back and posted about it, but didn't have much luck. Information on the Wilderness can be found here: http://www.mccormicktract.com/ and...
Does anyone have thoughts on canoeing the entire Mississippi beginning in Mid-Late October? I'm currently working at a remote fishing lodge in Alaska as a guide, and we get back home in early October. My Buddy and I would like to begin our journey mid to late October? Right now we can't see any...
I don't feel I'm taking anyone's job as they are looking for people for the position. They are looking for guides. for fishing/hiking/skeetshooting/etc/

The portages are supposed to be brutal. The way the glaciers left that island geography is messed up, it's ridges running southwest to northeast throughout the island, and the up and downs when you go northwest/southeast are steeep (i believe the south sides are supposed to be steeper?). I'm...
I'd really like to do the inland route of Isle Royale National Park this year. Will Probably do BWCA again at some point, and would like to do a couple rivers in the UP that I have yet to do (Paint, Escanaba, Michigamme, Whitefish, etc).
You guys all had great input and ideas. I'm currently in the process of making them all lay flat again, and then going from there. I found a map drawer cabinet, but it was $600, might try making one too. We'll see. Thanks again everyone!
