So these pictures are from yesterday, Tuesday July 11th.
Part 1
Mr. Loon came by the boat in the morning, but not close enough to get a good picture. They start calling around 5am.
So this isn't a very good picture, but it gives you some idea how high the side walls are of McCargoe cove.
These are a series of inland lakes shot from the ridgeline facing North. The ridgeline is about 200' above Lake Superior. In the first one, left of center near the top, is Canada. While too far away in another, you can see Thunder Bay, Canada with the naked eye.
Flowers seem to be everywhere at Isle Royale.
I hiked about 13 miles yesterday and fared better as the ridgeline wasn't as high.
Soapbox alert:
It's wonderful to see solitary hikers whether passing or going the other way, because they have no one to talk to. Yesterday was chatterbox day. Couples or small groups chattering away, and wondering why they're not seeing any wildlife.
On a relatively calm day, the moose and other wildlife can hear you a hundred yards away. If that wasn't bad enough, a couple coming the other way was listening to an audio book as loud as one of them speaking.
If you're that clueless, hike in a city.
Stepping down from the soapbox.
