That Ranger is some ship. I have only seen it when passing through Houghton.
The sailing schedule was always too restrictive for my needs, so I have only sailed on the Queen.
Thanks

That's a nice shot of Ranger Paul. He's one of the nicest people I've ever met. I love the song he wrote with the chorus that says "I'm an Isle Royale wolf, it's my nature to be aloof." I think that's his best song.
