    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    Let's see what the weather is then. Maybe I can get my wife to come out for a Friday night hang. Not sure about my daughter, but will ask.

    I have to work the morning of 10/5, but I might could come out that afternoon and possibly stay that evening. bear island is a big island, can you tell us aproximatly where the campsite will be? The times I've been to the island I'm always on the east side. I'm guessing camp site is more west side if you're paddeling from elm hill marina?

    Anderson Road Recreation area is closed for the season

    I had to cancel a hike due to recovering from a recent illness but plan b was to go out to the island next weekend to get some paddle and hang time. I figured we would run into each other on Bear Island one weekend
