Hi Ken, er, AG,
Isle Royale... First thing that came to mind (after the wave of jealousy)
was mosquitoes... No, I've never been there, but with the amount of water
around... I would want the ORIGINAL mosquito repellant, DEET. No woosie
organic substitute, but the original, brain damage risk and all. Deer flies,
horse flies, black flies, stable flies, no-see-ums, mebbee hornets... DEET.
If you're lucky, the area will have had its first frost of the season.
That'll slow 'em down a bunch. Otherwise, you'll be poked, drilled,
chewed,.... kinda like the NW Territories (B52 bomber mosquitoes). DEET.
Bet you're gonna love those new boots. There is just no substitute.
Isle Royale. Wolves and moose! I would be laying awake at night, watching
the stars (and hopefully auroras), listening for all I was worth, just to
hear one howl.
Please let us know which AG-nose lenses you'll be taking. and why. :-)
Rich
