Thanks for watching! Make the time, you won't regret it ☺️
A place that has the largest island on the largest lake on the largest island on the largest lake.
You just blew my mind! Lol 😂🤯

Thanks for this video. I’ll never get there but is nice to see.
I'm happy that I could show a bit of it to you then! ☺️ Thanks for coming along!
Very well done thank you for sharing this I was out there only once.
Glad you enjoyed it! Were you hiking or working out there?
@@Gypsytrekker a friend took me out there on his boat fishing and exploring the Rock harbor area.
Epic adventure!!!
Yes, it sure was!
Wonderful representation of the ISRO!
Thanks to my wonderful guides who made it even better 😄
Thanks friend for the cool video of Isle Royal. My grandfather was stationed at Rock harbor to build the docks and cabins from 1933-1935. Pretty cool that you got to see it, someday I'll go if I can find someone adventurous enough ❤
Oh wow, that's awesome! You should definitely make the time and go.. I can't believe I waited so long to get out there myself.
very cool, have fun!
Thanks! You too!
You were probably bitten by a small spider and it can be very painful. CVS and Amazon have a topical benadryl salve that works quite well. Walmart carries a good mosquito repellant that doesn't contain Deet. Can't remember the brand name but it works. After forgetting something every time I camped, I finally made a checklist and keep it in a backpack that I use for camping. As long as I remember the backpack I'm good to go!
Thanks for recommending the topical Benadryl! I'm adding that to my list
After I retire on Aug.30, 2030, I'll certainly spend more time in UP.
How were the road conditions to Keystone Bay compared to High Rock Bay when you went last year? Did you see signs to Keystone Bay from Mandon Rd or did you have to use an offline map app to get there? Think a person with a Subaru Outback can get to Keystone Bay?
I'm sorry that Im just seeing your comment. The road to Keystone last year was definitely passable for an Outback. There were some big dips but they were not mucky, just had to go slow to keep from bottoming out. We were very surprised to see just a regular passenger car make it's way out with no problem. There were not signs telling you where to turn to Keystone and we ended up going the wrong way for a bit until it dead ended. We haven't been out there this year and have had quite a bit of rain, so my concern might be how high the crossing is at the beaver dam more than anything.
Creepy😮
The shells are invasive Zebra Muscles. Years ago we never had them at all
They are here in the Manistee Forest area too! Biking through the woods is like riding through a never ending web, ick!
They r starting here on Michigans West Coast here in GH
Oh no
Very nice I’m coming to the u.p.this fall can’t wait I want to see it all especially the keweenaw
I love the fall waterfall hikes.
Dad's young at heart. Great family fun. Outdoors has some much to offer. My mom got my into the outdoors, she's gone now, but memories will last forever.
Sorry to hear about your mom, my mom is who first got me into camping, skiing, etc too 😀
I bet that was a spider bite. Wow super cute with your glasses. Somores are the best. Enjoy your adventure.
Thank you 🤗
love this !
That music sounds like Michigan's own Sufjan Stevens
Hi gypsy, I plan on camping in the U.P. this summer (I'm a troll). Where was that pool with the steam room? Was that a Big Erick's campground? There was a really cool campsite I seen last year while visiting my brother in Marquette. Looked like it was on the side of a ski resort and they had mountain biking. I wasn't into camping then I'm returning to check out the mountain bike trails. I think it was on 553. Anyways have you tried the mountain bike trails? Any good? Thanks for the video.
Was there in 2018. Geart place .
Curious if the trail to that cabin is flat / calm enough to pull a wagon or pulk of gear? Loved the video!
From what I recall, that trail is pretty easy. You may want to check with the park office though, some trails do not allow camp wagons/wheels on them.
Hey you showed up on my feed. great video. I am a fellow yooper as well. Subscribed
Awesome! Thank you so much. Happy trails ☺️
Do you do any smelt dipping up there?
The smelt do run up here, I've never gone to do it myself... I'm told that it's nowhere near the numbers they used to get but IDK.
The cabin is barrin and you have to hike to it. That sucks. You have to carry bedding food ect. Thats alot to haul.
Keep up the great work building content and memories at the same time! So happy for you!
Thank you! Will do!
That's so cool, have fun!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! I just knew you were going to make smores.
Lol yes! The highlight of every camping trip 😃
Super cute video. I have to get up to those cabins!
Thanks! They are so cozy, I can't Believe I hadn't known about them before
You guys go to the best places. Thanks for taking us along. By the way, it was Bareback trail you took. You should take an offline map on your phone and flip GPS on for your next trip as it will show you the route you are on to Hogback Mtn.
Thank you! I had downloaded an AllTrails map ahead of time but it didn't turn out to be very descriptive of what was around us.
You were great companions for Sunday afternoon. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
Ok
Did you have any trouble getting to Keystone Bay? Some places on the internet talk about a locked gate because of some private property? I'm thinking of going to High Rock Bay and Keystone this coming Memorial Day. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
There are a lot of trails out there, once we figured out which way was correct it wasn't too bad. You just have to travel slowly
I'm not thrilled with the required reservations. I understand the need for it, to a degree. I do a lot of camping via kayak along the shore of Lake Superior. The weather can decide for me what are paddling days and when I will get to my next destination. A few years ago I paddled from Whitefish Bay to Au Train. I chose to do it in early June so that, hopefully, there would be open sites even though I didn't have reservations. I needed reservations in Pictured Rocks and made reservations for a site for two nights, hoping that I would get there one of those two nights and that the weather wouldn't cause me to miss my reservation. I paid for two nights , knowing that I would only use one. The disappointing thing was when I got there and someone was in site #x and I asked them what site number it was they said "It was the first one we found". So obviously they didn't have a reservation... Last summer I stayed at several state parks on an early June trip and found room each time. Some of the sites weren't ideal, but I had a place to set up my tent as I paddled from Wisconsin to Au Train.
Oof, yeah that sounds annoying! Did the other people leave your site once you told them it was reserved? I know I need to do more research about where exactly dispersed camping is allowed in certain areas. I'm always worried that I'll be all set up for the night and then get told to leave.
I really like this new trailer!
Thank you! 😊
It seems to be quite the challenge these days! I found the Porkie cabins complicated to figure out how to reserve. I really like the idea of campground tours! I try to do that when I am out also, hoping it would be helpful and I think you doing that would be VERY helpful!
I agree the DNR reservation system is complicated.. as well as trying to figure out distances between each site for example. Thanks for your input on the campground tour, I'll definitely plan on showing what I can!
Thank you, very cool!
Wow! I was just watching "Wondering Woodsman", he is doing some videos on some campgrounds in Pennsylvania with the purpose of getting an idea of what they are like for just the same reason you were talking about. It was very helpful and I was wishing there was Michigan videos like that! I would definitely watch your campground tour videos. I agree about having some privacy while camping, I don't want to feel like I'm camping in my neighbors yard lol. Love your new intro.
Thank you for commenting! I'm happy to hear your input 😊
It was helpful. Thanks
You're welcome!
Great footage of our unseasonal winter. I was hoping to see our New Year's eve polar plunge. That was a rare experience. 🎉😂
I know, I wish now that I would've set up the camera to film or polar plunge but also I didn't want to infringe on anyone's privacy. 😊
Is she actually greg ovens in drag?🎉😅
That birth feed, was that peanut butter?
Yes, lard, peanut butter, cornmeal, flour and bird seed.
@@Gypsytrekker OK, thank you, AND birds love beef fat in winter time.
@@JiriDrkula Great idea! I think I will try mixing beef fat that I typically throw out with bird seed.
@jimknarr Well ,you just hang it RAW !!! on branches or by a bird feed RAW in winter time, if you heat proces it ,you will cook out important nutrients. Of corse this is only for could winter, it will spoil in the summer. But I think you realize that. 👴
Very cool!
Thank you
Thanks for sharing -especially the stew and the homemade suet idea! My birds here about to have their taste buds blown.
It's fun! Depending on what kind of birds you have, you could add dried berries as well I would think.
