Time in ISRO by the numbers through 2025
It's winter. I made some stuff.
Total nights in Isle Royale: 97
Over eleven visits to Isle Royale, I've spent the most nights at Rock Harbor. That's not surprising, given that it has served as an entry and departure point for several visits.
Wondering about when I've been is what started me going down this rabbit trail. Bugs are the primary reason for me to avoid June, yet I've spent more nights there than any other month.
West is defined as everything west of Chickenbone Lake and Lake Richie. It's not that I prefer the east end but that's where I've been the most.

Re: Time in ISRO by the numbers
A couple more:
I definitely prefer Voyageur II over any other way to get to Isle Royale.
I've entered in several locations.
And I've left from several locations.

Here's mine. 16 visits, 27 campgrounds, 79 camping nights.
Note that "Stays" include all camping and non-camping visits.

Re: Time in ISRO by the numbers through 2025
So are "stays" occasions when you stayed on a boat? Or the lodge, or a housekeeping cabin?

Stays = number of times I stayed at the location, camping or otherwise. e.g. 3 consecutive nights on Belle Isle=1 stay.Kelly wrote: Wed Jan 28, 2026 11:08 am So are "stays" occasions when you stayed on a boat? Or the lodge, or a housekeeping cabin?
Non-camping visits include working a summer at R.H. (long time ago), volunteering (sleeping in NPS quarters at Mott and Malone), and one lodge trip. Since those nights total well over 100, they kinda threw off the graph... but I did include them everywhere else.
