Notes/Other: Booked passage on the Voyageur II early to guarantee the dates we wanted. We have enough time to enjoy hiking the island from end-to-end. We hiked the Minong in 2007, 2008 & 2013 so it's probably the year to hike it again. Have plenty of time to finalize the itinerary before the trip!

Departure Date: 6/30
Coming From/Via: Houghton via Ranger III

Itinerary:
Fri: Ferry arrives; Rock Harbor --> Daisy Farm

Mon: McCargoe Cove --> Three Mile (via the Greenstone)
Tues: Three Mile --> Rock Harbor + afternoon hike to Scoville Point

Notes/Other: It's our first trip to Isle Royale, though I've been lurking on these forums for almost 2 years! Due to sold out ferry dates, our trip is now 1 day longer than initially planned but I didn't increased our mileage. Trying to decide whether to make a backup plan with more aggressive mileage or to just lean into the extra camp time at Moskey Basin by stocking up on e-books.
