wolfgang, bill... um, what's the deal with sept 9 in marquette? no
hotel rooms available that weekend according to expedia. i haven't
looked, but is that some unique yooper holiday weekend in marquette? or
just labor day holdovers? should i bring a special hat or costume? g

i'll wait til sept to decide on car and hotel... but, as i recall,
there's not much between marquette and the oxymoron, octobegon,
ontononagone...oh, hell, you know where. so bill...bring an extra tent

I have to be at work at 6pm Saturday night, Sept. 10th. Anyone going
to be in a fishing mood Friday or Saturday morning?

Yep.

Wolfgang



I'll be there.

The itinerary doesn't make much difference to me (though I WILL have some of
what I hope to be interesting possibilities to suggest over the next couple
of months), but if I've understood you right, you were interested in
exploring a bit further east than the last time you visited......more in
Voelker's old neighborhood. If this is the case, then lodging bewtween
Marquette and Occidenta.....um....Ontologica...uh....****, now you've got ME
doing it!

Anyway, you want to be looking in the other direction.

I'm not exactly an expert on the region- just a handful of trips- but I sure
would vote for some time on the Fox, so long as you don't mind roughing it.
Don't think Seney has much in the way of lodging, though as I recall
Germfask might. But the camping along the Fox is good, and I really like
that river. Wolfgang, from what the books say, the lower Fox (below 28) is
too deep for wading, but holds bigger fish for those who have
watercraft/float tube. And there's that beaver pond in the upper
reaches....

In looking for information about the Huron Mountain Club, I found this very
interesting page:

http://www.michiganhighways.org/inde...huronmtns.html

My uncle's camp was located on the Huron River, just west of the Huron
Mountains and the western limit of the HMC holdings. I've often wondered if
one could drive from Skanee to Big Bay/Marquette. According to this page,
it looks like it would be possible, but only under the best conditions and
with a 4WD vehicle.

Man, wish I still had the deed to that camp...

I haven't looked at that page in detail yet, but I DID look at the area on
DeLorme's "Street Atlas". It looks as if the area marked as "Impassable" on
the 1932 map might be what DeLorme calls Northwestern Road. I'm not at all
familiar with this area, but if it's anything like what I'm familiar with in
the far western U.P. it is almost certainly navigable with just about any
vehicle. I know of many roads that show up as "4WD" trails on maps and that
are pretty well maintained. As undeveloped (relatively speaking) as the
U.P. is, it's seeing a lot more tourist traffic these days.....especially
since the snowmobile boom....and the various counties and even individual
townships are taking pretty good care of what used to be strictly logging
roads.

Wolfgang
who, having nursed a desire to fish the huron for several years, has mapped
out every possible road access (to both branches), complete with shortest
route to the river from each access point......AND gps coordinates and
compass directions.

Sounds like shift work in a factory. Been there done that.

I worked shift work in a Monsanto textile mill in Alabama.
Seven straight days 8 to 4, two days off, seven straight
days 4 to 12, two days off, seven straight days midnight
to 8 and then a long weekend, three days off.

Talk about ****ing up circadian rythyms.

who would love to be able to say truthfully that he'd done 21 days of honest
labor in his day.

And be careful what you offer, I may be doing some consulting not far from
you this summer.

That would be cool. Let me know how it works out. You can bring this:
