[NLRS] A couple of questions for the VE3's

Over Field Day weekend, KC0OIA, W0ISJR, and I are going camping at Neys
Provincial Park ( http://www.ontarioparks.com/english/neys.html ), which is on
the North Shore of Lake Superior, about 100 miles or so east of Thunder Bay. 
I believe the QTH is EN68.

First of all, is that a "rare" grid?

I'll be getting on the air some for FD, mostly on HF, but I want to give VHF a
try also.  I won't have much in the way of antennas, and I'll be QRP.  If 6 is
open, I'm sure I'll work someone.  But is there anyone on the other side of
the lake I'll be able to work on 2, 220, or 432?  (Since I won't break any
score records, it would be fun to work all bands from 160 to 432.)

Also, are there any repeaters (probably in Michigan) I'll be able to use from
that location?  Are any of them set up for Echolink or similar?  2 meters
would be preferred, since only have 5 watts on 432, and don't really have an
FM antenna.

TNX & 73,
