Well, Isle Royale season is over for the year. I got out once, but was planning to go twice. It seems I've been thwarted the past 4 years trying to make it out to the place I love so much more than once. Hopefully, I can change that next year with some volunteer work. I apologize for my lack of pres...

The Ranger can get into Windigo?

How the heck did you get your January 2010 BP so quick?!

Ahh yes, that pic of the VII steaming in around the rocks at Chippewa Harbor is always one of my favoritest (yet saddest) things to see. What an awesome boat.
