Just a quick update for everyone. Derek and I spent the last few days in Voyageurs NP in Northern Minnesota. It is very different then the Plains we had been in for the last week; Aspen and pine, streams, and tons of lakes made for a much more lush and green landscape. We had two full days that we spent in the park (actually more in the area of the park, as the vast majority of actual park land can only be reached by boat). The first day we spent hiking in the forests and exploring the land along the shore of Kabetogama Lake. The second day we rented a couple kayaks and kayaked up the Ash River to a waterfall. We were all on our own on the river and the trip proved challenging but doable.
We are now on our way to Isle Royale, which is in the middle of Lake Superior. We are taking the Ferry from Copper Harbor, MI early tomorrow morning, and will be backpacking around the island for three nights. It should be a lot of fun at one of the nations most isolated parks.
