The cabins have various cooking items in the cabinets, but it can be hit or miss, so you should bring some cookware with you. It's been a few years since I've been to these cabins, so it might be a good idea to contact the park regarding how well they're currently stocked. Hope you have a good trip!Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394471787954690021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40342833983766732.post-18280043360677140492017-07-28T14:37:18.621-07:002017-07-28T14:37:18.621-07:00Are the wood burning stoves for cooking on?

We passed many great tent sites that made us miss our tent. <br /><br />You probably know this from your planning, but the cabins at the Porkies are real cabins (not like the 3-sided shelters on Isle Royale). They have wood-burning stoves and (extremely hard) bunk beds. It was really nice to be able to heat up the cabins on the days we were caught in the rain or had cold weather. <br /><br />If you've missed your chance for cabins, I wouldn't worry. The tent sites looked great!<br /><br />I can't wait to hear about your trip - I hope you write about it.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394471787954690021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40342833983766732.post-75610730280838264552014-07-08T11:17:19.410-07:002014-07-08T11:17:19.410-07:00I was wondering about where you parked your car.

At this point I don't know what is available, I might not have a choice. ;) We didn't mind the cabins on Isle Royale, especially the night it stormed.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10814839576615953376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40342833983766732.post-70887905633161519182010-10-16T12:44:42.118-07:002010-10-16T12:44:42.118-07:00A word to the wise on that cabin by the lake: the ...A word to the wise on that cabin by the lake: the only potable water nearby is a row across the lake (a small rowboat comes with the cabin) and then a trek uphill to a small cistern halfway up the hill. Fill up in the daylight, as you'd never find the trail (let alone the cistern) in the dark!Richard Brehlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170450950014551036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40342833983766732.post-69851673966808097682010-10-15T08:44:32.494-07:002010-10-15T08:44:32.494-07:00Very cool!

Maybe next time I'll get to stay in the cabin that's right on the lake, or in one of the campsites that overlooks it.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394471787954690021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40342833983766732.post-55101669101513009202010-10-13T20:19:55.072-07:002010-10-13T20:19:55.072-07:00So wonderful to finally see and read about your la...So wonderful to finally see and read about your latest trek. I've been going to Lake of the Clouds since I was a kid in the '50's, and 20 years ago scattered my late wife's ashes there as she asked. My sons and I spent a weekend at one of the trail's cabins there in 2000, and hope to again.<br /><br />Looking forward to the next installment...Richard Brehlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170450950014551036noreply@blogger.com
