A SOLID INTRO TO & OVERVIEW OF THE PORKIES...

Jim DuFresne is a poet of the outdoors. It is disconncerting to find writing of this quality, this vitality, in what is essentially a travel book. The section in this book on his encounter with a black bear is just one example. Is this the definitive guide to what are affectionately called "the Porkies?" Not really, but this is a very useful tool in planning a trip there. This book and a good hiking guide--like the Falcon guide to Hiking Michigan--along with some decent topo maps should do the trick. The hiking info is critical, because unless you're just gonna go take a gander at the Lake in the Clouds, you'll be doing some serious hiking in the Porcupine Mountains. This book is great background for some of the things you will see there, but the Falcon guide and the maps really help you plan. I give this book a solid recommendation--with a suggestion to get a good hiking guide & maps.
