I agree! Looks like the Ranger is headed down the Keweenaw Waterway now!

I found a picture of the actual LCM owned by the NPS. The one I posted earlier was just an example of an LCM-8, not the NPS boat.
Here it is navigating down the Keweenaw waterway, carrying what looks to be a NPS boat. I don't know the regularity of their trips to the Island but I'm pretty sure the trips are all tied to maintenance work, not open to the public. Even one ride in rough seas would be more than I could handle.

The USCG Katmai Bay was in Washington Harbor today, presumably breaking ice (since it's an ice breaker). Not sure if it made it to Windigo or not.
