Isle Royale Trip 2002
I hope to hike again on Isle Royale in 2004.  I took a week off from work, but you should plan to spend several more days on the island than you think.  Also, you should plan being stuck on the island for at least an extra day or two.

My friend and I thought we could hike at a pace of 2 miles an hour.  You will find that the you may be able to do this, but trail conditions and weather will slow your pace down.  I would recommend going 5 to 10 miles a day only.   By day 3 of our trip, my feet were in bad shape and my friend had bruised his knee pretty good. 

I would suggest also taking the southern route over the Minong ridge.  The distance between campsites and the roughness of the trail itself made the Minong difficult to traverse, but it was worth it.
Here is my friend.  Good friends are a must along the trails..
