My brother in law is off the boat from Cork.  A few years ago he introduced us to Whiskey-Tea.  Barry's Irish Tea (Golden Blend), topped off with a finger or two of Jameson's is just what the doctor ordered on those crisp windy days.

Premixed Khulua Vodka, add 2 little coffee creamers stolen from Holiday Station in Grand Marais. Better grab 30 or 40 of them. Cool

Although the brain-pickling solution we traditionally use is Jack Daniels, I've grown quite fond of Powers Irish Whiskey and will probably take it in this year along with our normal supply of Old No. 7.


Blasphemer !!!! The group is always the last to know. Might expalin a few other things though.....

Any restrictions on taking tar across the border? (We’ll figure out the feather part once we get there; weight restrictions s and all you know.)

Actually, since this is a one portage trip, I think I’ll be taking along a plastic bottle or two of cola to go with the <whiskey of choice>. Get it to the bottom of the lake at the start of the day and have a chilled carbonated mixer at the end of the day.

I have too pass this story on about cola and whiskey Grin
Back in the 70's, 4 of us had backpacked for a week in the Porcupine Mt's of MI upper peninsula. We had time to kill, so we decided to go over to Gay Mi, an old time lumber town, home of the Famous Gay Bar.
Its your classic Up North bar. The bartender was a little old white haired guy, who looked like he could of BEEN the original bartender from the 1900's. We got a table and some menu's, and Wild Bill our Redneck Kentucky born friend went to get some drinks, beer for us and a Double Jack Daniels and Coke for himself. A few minutes pass, and we hear a big uproar at the bar Shocked The old timer was half-way across the bar, one hand on Bills throat, the other hand swinging a broken pool cue!
Bill is trying to fend the old guy off, calling him every name in the book.
We rush over to pull them apart and find out what started the whole mess? Bill says " The old fool won't sell me a 2x Jack and Coke?" The old man looks at us TROLLS and says: " You can have a house whiskey and coke, you can have a coke, but NOBODY drinks good Jack Daniels whiskey unless its straight up, or on the rocks! IF you don't like it, get the HELL out of MY bar !
 WE stayed for some cold brews, great cheeseburgers, and Wild Bill settled for a 2x shot of Jack with a Coke on the side Cool
 The old bartender was shaking his head the whole time Grin
Yup, somethings you just don't mix, at least in THAT Gay Bar Wink

Ah yes; the good old Porkies. My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon there. We stayed at the campground on the southern end; closest to Wakefield. We did make a few ventures up to the northern end; specifically to Lake Of The Clouds. No stories to compare to ST’s though. Best I can come up with (that can be shared here) is my wife asking me in the pitch black tent if it was the middle of the night. "Logic" was that if it was close to dawn, she would wait until then to go to the bathroom.

I've been to that same bar in the early 80's, on a bicycle trip around the Kewinaw Penninsula. I think the same old guy was still there.

Also went backpacking in the Porkies one long weekend while attending MTU. Got lost one afternoon for several hours, but just followed a stream to the Lake Superior trail. The most nerve racking thing was walking by myself down the trail amoungst chest high thimbleberry bushes, dodging huge piles of bear dung that seemed to be deposited about every 10 ft.
