Looks like a nice, mellow trip. The trailheads and junctions are all well marked and the trails are obvious.

For your "no plans" Thursday you might want to (if the weather is good) rent a canoe or tandem kayak for a half day and explore Tobin Harbor.

Thanks Bob, after getting off the water taxi at moskey, would you stay there for the first day or head to Chickenbone.
Thanks

That's a tough call. Moskey is a really nice campground, but I guess I'd be itching to get on the trail.

I haven't been to all of the campsites on the island, but so far, Moskey is my favorite place.

I would also suggest you fill in your "no plans" part of your itinerary with some of the great sites and things to do around RH. Canoeing/tooling around would be a really cool way of appreciating the island from a water perceptive.
