I seem to check the Mott Island and Tobin Harbor Web Cams too frequently - One can only daydream so much.
Just checked to check out the Greenstone Skies and was surprised to see the Ranger III docked.

It has been too long since my last trip on the Ranger.... so am I wrong that the Ranger is supposed
to return back to Houghton on Saturday morning? why is it on Isle Royale tonight?

It was blowing the oysters off the rocks from the south up here last night, my guess would be weather.

Here is the explanation of why the Ranger was seen Saturday evening, August 22 at the Mott Island dock.

The Isle Royale & Keweenaw Parks Association's 2015 annual membership meeting was held August 22 in Rock Harbor on Isle Royale, in conjunction with the celebration of Isle Royale National Park's 75th anniversary and dedication of its new alternative energy systems. The Ranger III will depart from Houghton Friday morning, August 21, as usual but will depart Rock Harbor at 9:00 Sunday morning, August 23, instead of Saturday.

That explains what people were talking about. News was Rock harbor and the nearby areas were loaded as heck. Nobody seemed to know what was going on. But then we weren't in the area. On the 22nd we were in Todd Harbor. Had the shelter and the whole campground to ourselves. Beats a meeting and festivities any day.
