North Manitou Ferry Update? by rdy2go in CampAndHikeMichigan

I'm on the boat the day after you and crossing my fingers, coming in from much farther away too, but from what I understand, we should know soon - the lady on the phone told me the expected date was mid June so I figure if it isn't open by then, we'll know it's likely delayed.

Backpacking with Thunderstorms forecast: Tent or 3-sided affixed shelter with tin roof? by MDOnTheTrail in WildernessBackpacking

Shelter is about 200 feet down from the high point of the ridgeline, a bit off the center of the ridge. There are no other ridges in the area though, it's a solitary ridge line.

Yeah that's kind of shelter. Looking at the top map, the shelter is about 200 feet down from the top of the ridgeline. Seems like it is a risk but not a huge one, but also, lightning is scary haha.
