Entry:
Four hours sleep due to late night packing. Uneventful ferry (~5 hours) to Isle Royale. Claimed a sheltered campsite, explored the facilities, looked around the lodge, etc.

Took a short (5 mi. roundtrip) day hike from Rock Harbor to Scoville Point. The weather is perfect, hot sun, cold win. Near the point I found some big, sun warmed rocks just off shore, stripped down to my shorts worshiped the sun / read / slept for an hour and a half. Even managed to burn the back of my knees a little, pure heaven after the last couple weeks of rain.

On the way back I think I heard wolf pups howling. They sounded just like Barkely (a golden) did when he was a puppy.
