Isle Royale Day 2: Lane Cove to Daisy Farm

August 4, 2010
Miles: 6.9

In the morning we explored Lane Cove some more and it is quite scenic.



Then it was back to the Greenstone Ridge.  The climb back up was fairly steep.



Once on the Greenstone it was a short distance to Mt. Franklin, which revealed expansive views to the North.



Continuing on the Greenstone, after 2.5 miles we came to the Mount Ojibway Fire Tower.



From the fire tower we joined the Mount Ojibway Trail and hiked to Daisy Farm.  The shelters were full so we set up camp at #16, which was a fairly nice site while not as close to the water as some.

 It had a nice picnic table that we used to organize lots of stuff.

Later we headed down to the lake for an evening swim and to get water.



Clouds quickly came in from the northwest and before we could even make it back to camp it was a downpour. We managed to keep most of our belongings dry and soon the storm passed, revealing a beautiful rainbow that even reflected on the lake!
