[at-l] Okay, trip report kinda, sorta (long)



Was there the last week of August and had the same conditions, well, except
stayed bone dry in my nice warm tent.  Took the Ferry from Wisconsin across
Lake Michigan on Labor Day weekend and were told it was the second worse day
for lake conditions of the season.  Unbelievable, passing out buckets to
everyone.  You must have hit the 3rd worse day.

I've been mostly lurking but here's a trip report from last October

North Manitou Island October 2001


Holy Cow, what a week. Temperatures in the upper sixties and rain one day,
winds of 60+ knots the next. Sleet, rain, wind and a leaky tent. A sleeping
bag with a blown out zipper and high temperatures in the low thirties. Did I
mention rain and a leaky tent? Not a single deer in sight (nor a married one
either). Twenty foot waves and no boat on Friday.
