How far from Superior are you? The Porkies are really nice, backpacked there a few times when I lived in the UP.
When I'd paddle on Superior, I'd drink right from it.
Whats MMSD? There is no reason for raw sewage to be dumped into lakes, rivers, etc. I'm not a tree hugger by any means, but that isn't acceptable.
Pretty far.
I'm in suburban Milwaukee...
We'd just go north on Hwy 51 (runs north to Hurley), then shot Hwy 2 into MI. Don't remember the state highways we used, but remember going through Bessemer and Wakefield.
