    Grand Island is nice. My dad and I did it two years ago. Basically walked the whole thing in a day. Not a lot to see as most of the trails are on the interior of the island. There's still a lot of private property on the island as well.

    I grew up near Escanaba, so spent all my youth traveling around the UP.

    "lone u.p. eer"

    Yeah I think its just the two of us lone yoopers on these forums. I checked the map and I dont think there was anyone else.

    Lonetracker..you have been all over the UP hammock camping! Have you ever been to Manitou Island off the tip of the Keweenaw? I really want to check it out..mainly since its so far from anything. I need to get out some more. I plan on doing a hammock camping trip to Isle Royale sometime this summer which should be a great trip!

    No never have. Just always went to the Porqupine mountains instead. I always wanted to though. Maybe a group hang could be in store? Or somewhere in northern lower Michigan for all you trolls?

    Last year I did the Pictured Rocks trail and look forward to doing something in Michigan this year. I'm dying to backpack one of the islands... choices choices. The idea of a boat ride, fishing, backpacking.... and maybe a hang is very appealing.
