    Harry’s Island

    A cool event is happening on my island this weekend.

    I was contacted by my old Boy Scout troop about a camping trip on my island. Of course I said yes.

    This evening the adult leaders arrived and set up their camp. Tomorrow the Scouts themselves arrive.

    I offered to shuttle everyone out there via motorboat, but the Scoutmaster wants them to canoe to the island. I like that Scoutmasters attitude.

    One of the adult leaders is someone I have known since kindergarten. He has a grandson in the troop now.

    I went out there for a couple hours this evening and sat around the campfire with them. Very enjoyable.








    Pic I took departing at dusk.

    A gorilla costume would bring more laughs and be less likely to get you shot. Or a chicken suit.

    When I was active we had a troop alum with nice property on the edge of town. They hosted an event there for the troop every fall. We used it as an opportunity to invite kids from the local cub scout packs, especially with older Weblos for recruiting. It was by far the most effective recruiting tool to keep the troop strong..

    That is awesome.

    Before my canoe trip I listened to a bunch of the WTIP Boundary Waters podcasts. One of the things that struck me is how kid oriented canoe camping can be, and is. In comparison to backpacking out west which tends to be dominated by childless couples and groups or if there are families they have college age kids.

    Now that I am couple months out I find myself listening to the old episodes at work. https://wtip.org/podcasts/boundary-waters-podcast/

    My guess is a couple of those kids become canoe and wilderness explorers for life because of your thoughtful generosity.

    Harry's Island being shared with Scouts is awesome. Nice of Harry to share his little slice of the world with those who are coming up in the world and willing to paddle canoes with their gear to camp. Any pictures of the axe and hatchet throwing range?

    Do you have a mailbox, Harry?




    I did a round on another mailboat a few years ago. Fun way to spend an afternoon.

    Harry’s Island

    I have owned this island for 11 months now, and I have not spent a night on it. My older brother is in town for his 50th HS reunion, so he is watching my Mom tonight. So I motored out here and set up camp.

    Very cool out here. Dead silent except for frogs croaking. Moon not full, but very bright. Supposed to be Aurora Borealis ?? If so, I will see them.

    Harry, not sure where you’re at in relation to Isle Royale latitude wise, but my girlfriend is on a backpacking trip up there and took this last night.

    Hope you catch it tonight!

    hey, KQ - see the Midwest stoke thread.

    at least to my reading,
    Harry has found a pretty-Beautiful Life in the upper midwest, where the former "mayor of BigSky" presides over a couple of (low) hills and continues to live a Big adventure !

    ( correct any of it, Harry ! great Respect ! )


    Thank you for bumping this thread -
