I did two days this past weekend in peak fall colors. Just spectacular.
Does anyone know whether dispersed camping is allowed in these areas near mt pleasant? They show as state forest land in the online map, but I cant find anything specific or who to call to find out. Has anyone camped here?
Just sharing and if anybody saw anything, knows anything please let them know, or share to more people who were in/around the park last weekend.

Someone took the Porcupine Mountains entrance sign!
The sign was taken sometime between Saturday night, October 3rd, and the early morning hours of Sunday, October 4th.
Law enforcement has been notified, and we are now searching for our missing sign.
This isn’t just any sign — it’s ICONIC! It’s the spot so many visitors stop to photograph when they arrive at the Porkies. Generations of visitors have memories with this sign, and we want it back where it belongs!

Today is the last day to make your voice heard on the USDA proposed recission of the Roadless Rule. This legislation protects inventoried national forestlands from commercial logging and road systems, including 16,000 acres in our upper peninsula.
Make your voice heard, however you may be swayed. This will irreversibly alter our natural landscapes across the nation.

I am a student at WMU. If you are familiar with bear bags used to store food when camping in bear country, please take a couple minutes to answer this quick survey about issues with their current design. I need surveys for a college course to help me design a better version of the bag. So, any feedback will be helpful. I've attached a link to the survey below. Thank you for your input.
