A factor I always think of is that I often stub my toe while hiking, so a hard-shell toe box is a must.

Just something to think about. Who knows what factors you encounter that may come up.

This is big news. Here are some links I've seen:

My first trip to the island was a canoe trip that looked like this: -Arrive at Rock Harbor. -Take Voyageur II to Malone Bay. Portage to Sikiwit Lake, paddle to Wood Lake campground. -Day paddle around Whittlesey. (Great walleye in there!) -Portage/ paddle Intermediate Lake/ portage/ paddle to Lake R...

Moskey.

Little Todd

Beef stroganoff with some of the Idahoan instant potatoes (that comes in the $1 packet) mixed in is great.

Yes, near Scoville Pt.

That little cabin is where the artist in residence stays. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nKR59Zd_ePWMh8Lwi7_OBr8R3gsuWRI1WeANaxR3QbbekqMxcrcnpNQiroRv5QbGBitn3B3TnzBRFiBu6sUS6GAc8ScARIdKxSHRYe7k2_rxht9uk-MPircgRDyTqghKHR3XXx5BDAW1xqjz4bXRwB3u-qAhhnM77TPATdKGK7DpZrag830Gy89dYBxj936B7toPD_8-svKEA9Hb...

You can stay as long as the maximum nights allowed. Moskey & Daisy have a 3 night maximum consecutive night stay. See page 6 of the Greenstone for maximum nights allowed at each shelter/campsite: https://www.nps.gov/isro/planyourvisit/upload/2016-Greenstone.pdf I've stayed at different sites, left m...

Glad somebody else found my "secret" spot. Where's the cabin located? If you walk along the harbor's edge from the shelters towards Superior you will find it.

I've been up there! Found a clearing on the way up but had to bushwhack my way down. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/C_DSPuShYQJSpiKZFtnJpmJX9wMSRBui94nXfTY023IzMemETMyFLE5iYI97vowR8Xn5ovhJbTkRCPtb8RIgzYN_uoBy88Or3_xuK7CfkNcmWdXDvCIQQbFW5QS0vRwLEu_a8amzYOzK9iJVCFHhwd6-Ymjn8q30fjNBIN3b9jgnR0_rxuL3b...

My then-15 year old cousin from Phoenix at Scoville Point, July 2014.

......There's so much fresh water on Isle Royale that I personally don't worry too much about needing tablets or UV. Can you elaborate? Do you mean you think the water is very good quality from lakes/streams/Superior within IR? From reading this and other threads it sounds like getting water for fi...

I'd love to see some photos of your setup, if you are able to post them. I've been considering an Alpacka raft for some time now.

I would recommend using those "long" days on the Greenstone, going east from Windigo. Tom's alternate plan is a good one.
