Re: South Shore campsite choices?

A few hundred yards after the Head there is a strip of flat ground just inside the treeline. Do hook around the point at Long Point. Used to be a fish camp there. Spend some time exploring a couple of falling down camps. There are places to tent,just a nice spot. You might even find some moose ...

Went back the end of August, the bike was gone but the bike rack was still there. Non wilderness areas can have wheels ...

Re: Crazy Idea to Circumnavigate the Island?

Since the voyageur will drop a food box at any dock it stops at, food is easy to set up. The only thing is fuel. Taking enough for a month . Maybe you could talk the rangers out of some at rock harbor. Twig stove is another option. Great way to go around the island though.
