I am sitting in my Alpacka packraft just off the seaplane dock at Tobin Harbor. As you can see the waters are beautifully clear and geen. The day is bright and warm. 15:23. <span class='authorcredit'>Photo by a young women who works as a server at the Isle Royale Lodge.</span>");

Sure I was not trying to rush but with one thing and another it took a fair bit of time to get going. As you can see the Alpacka can easily be held and carried under one arm.

If  you plan to stray from the lodge you are either going to be backpacking or paddling. I am not sure if more people elect to kayak or canoe. Perhaps it depends on what they plan on doing during the trip. For example, I suspect people who decide to canoe or more likley also doing more fishing and staying more on the interior island lakes as opposed to paddling the bays of Lake Superior. 14:29.");

Daisy Farm seemed very busy today with groups large and small. Too busy for me so I am glad I will be hiking on, but for now it sure is pretty here and soaking my feet in Lake Superior felt fantastic. 15:15.");

Their are no moose here and so this plant along with other moose candy would not exist and Passage Island would look much more like Isle Royale.
