I think Isle Royale in Lake Superior is a result of the mid continent rift.

Up in da UP, the area I camp, backpack and do winter sports is comprised of some of the worlds oldest exposed rock.

That and a giant magma caldera. Porcupine mountains are the south side anf Isle Royale is the north side.

I really love the old growth forests of the porkies, too bad it became such a popular spot. The place is overly blazed and filled with dayhikers now.

When Mrs and I did a hike in and cabin stay several years ago, I couldn't believe how loud people were. There was this youth group that hiked by twice a day singing at the top of their voices. I almost had words, but Mrs wouldn't let me.

Once while hiking to Tioga Falls someone had their car in the parking area thumping the whole time. You could hear it echoing through the hills most of the whole way and back.

Too bad, that would have been a perfect teachable moment.

"I almost had words"

Well, keep trying and eventually you'll come up with some.

Maybe.

Hopefully.

How young WAS the youth group? Little kids chaperoned by an adult are one thing, but if they were teens . . .

Anyway, I'm past the point where I'll confront a "group" of strangers behaving in an annoying manner. A generation ago, talking to someone politely often would solve the problem - it's a sad commentary on society now, but these days, things might escalate to the point where I'd either have to accept a beat down (Nope!) or end one or more of the strangers; neither situation is ideal.  I think your Mrs did you a favor.
