Here is a funny little drawing I took a picture of in one of the shelter's we stayed at. I don't know why I took a picture of this one, there were a ton of other ones that were a lot more creative, but for whatever reason I did.

Again, I respect everyone's opinion on this delicate manner. It is a shame, if what you say is true, that some shelters have had to be made over because of idiots that write things that are crude in nature. Now time for a complete side note. Honestly, if we are going to make it a matter of LNT, then...

I'm all for writing in the journals if you would like to make it point to have them placed in each shelter :lol: However, I do not have much faith in them staying intact on the mainland :| The ones that are accessible by kayaks are most likely not going to have many teenagers visit them (not that al...

Are you an owner/operator?

Sept 17th is the last trip for pickup in McCargoe Cove. Alternate drop points are also required after this date as the weather conditions dictate if outbound trips travel on the north or south side of the island." It appears as though their is a high likelihood that the boat may not go around ...

Ha Ha Ha, Look at Capt Don's number of visits to the island: 230. As the captain of the Voyageur, I would guess as much. Oh well, at least I can aim to be the second most frequented guest =) P.S. I hope to travel on your ship one day. All the people that ride on your boat say that you are the best c...

McCargoe and Moskey are tied for my two favorite places to visit on the island. My girlfriend will tell you that her favorite place is Moskey. So I’m glad we both know that Moskey is a must for your vacation. Initially I was going to say that I would skip McCargoe. After a long trip of hiking severa...

It looks like my opinion is too late. However, I disagree with the others...disagree in a respectful way =) I do not understand the love people have for Chippewa Harbor. I understand how the site has a beautiful outlook to Lake Superior from the dock with the miniature island of tangled trees that m...

As I said, and as you have already gone on to re-hint, perhaps I am/was asking for the impossible. Therefore, I have made some sacrifices to my original agenda restrictions and have come up with the following: Trip 1: Take Isle Queen or Ranger to Rock Harbor hike to Lane Cove. Lane Cove to McCargoe ...

That's what the notebooks (if provided) are for in the shelters. Write and express your "artistic" side to your hearts content in that thing,,,but not on the walls inside shelters. Again, I think it takes away from the backcountry experience completely. Funny how the least graffiti/clean ...

I must say that I love and look forward to viewing the artwork that is found in shelters along the way. At times it gives my girlfriend and I something to laugh at, at times it gives us something to look at in awe and amazement, and at times it gives us a sense of history behind those that have trav...

1st Reply to Nick: Your reply seemed to have been cut-off when I originally read it at, "catch the spur down do..." However, I am going to read where it seems have magically picked up at after I make my first reply and write another reply afterwards. It was weird, cause I refreshed the sc...

Jerry: I did not know there was a fuel surcharge. Thanks for the heads up on this matter. How much extra does the fuel surcharge hike up the price? As far as miles per day are concerned, it should be noted that I will be doing this trip with my girlfriend. With that known, we would like to limit on...

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d76/Razortceps/IsleMap.jpg Here is my dilemma. Above you will find a image of the Isle Royale Map. The parts of the trail that are highlighted in blue are the parts that I have not hiked yet. I would like try to hike as much of the blue as possible, if not all of i...

We are doing a 10 day trip to Isle Royale in the middle of May. Anything else that you can think of that I am forgetting to bring? Here is what my girlfriend and I have: Backpacks Headlamps Water Filter Tent Sleeping Pads Sleeping Bags Food Stove, Pot, and Spork Fuel Socks Underwear T-Shirt 1 pair o...
