Isle Royale: Monday 7/5

First Dinner Isle Royale 2010

Drove 6.75 hours to Houghton MI. (Map) No problems. Talked about various topics including Capitol Chaplains & pen making. Light rain as we approached Houghton. Checked into the Super 8 motel located right on the water...very nice with a breakfast included. Immediately headed out to test ourselves in the kayaks on the water of the channel. After this, we stowed the kayaks and headed out to dinner at the Library Pub.

Service was slow but the food was decent. Headed back to rooms & went to bed.

I drove and it went quite well. Big event was when I tried out the kayak, I got in while on a wood dock that sloped into the water. I thought I could just scoot myself off perpendicular to the end of the dock. Well the back got hung up and with the front in the water...I just slowly tipped over. Of course I had my wallet and camera in my pockets! Camera got fried but the wallet dried out fine. What a start!
