Isle Royale National Park - A Photo Series - Installment #7

Siskiwit Bay

We began setting up camp and get dinner ready as night was settling in. The horizon was a sliver of sunrays over the inner hills of the island. I ran down to the dock to get a few pictures before there wasn’t enough light to capture anything.

The next morning we made breakfast and began wandering around the bay near the campgrounds. I managed to find Tim in Siskiwit again. He had pounded through the first two days and told me that he was going to stay here in Siskiwit for a extra day to recover. As it would turn out, Tim was staying in the same shelter that my cousin had used a few years earlier. That's his nickname carved into the shelter frame. It was a pleasant surprise to see a familiar message in such a remote place. Only Canadian cellular coverage is partially available to parts of the island, if you want to pay the fees.

We collected everything together from our campsite and made our way down to the water to get some pictures before getting back onto the trail for the day.
