What's the website address for the high res. map? Don't be stingy!

Funny Trout I was going to ask the same question.

[Oms]

There's one thing for sure, "you won't get lost". It's a circle with a trail though the middle of it. Have some fun and do some bushwacking. You may find something cool. I will suggest to not go to the North side of the island. The trail is woods without a view. I have never bushwacked to see the lake up there, but I know it's to high to get water.

This would be my first hang with others from the forums...

I finish my night classes on May 11th... so this hang might be doable before the start of my next class the following week.

I would be driving from WI... and I am not sure if my POS buick will make it to late may, nevermind all the way to MI! Please keep me informed if you are still looking for people to go.

Thanks, Joe

We'd welcome you to come. I'll be finishing finals as well.
