Questioning authority, Rocking the boat & Stirring the pot - Since 1965
That looks like a great itinerary but days are shorter in September. Your 9/26 is ambitious. I suspect it will be dark before you get to Chippewa Harbor on 9/26. I guess a lot depends on how fast you can get from Windigo back to McCargo Cove.
Post back here when you finish and let us know how it turned out.
Questioning authority, Rocking the boat & Stirring the pot - Since 1965
true, days are shorter, if we're feeling like we're running out of time when we get to Lake Richie we can always bail to Moskey Basin and cut short a few miles. My original thought was to backcountry half way on that L.T. to Huggin leg.
we had a backcountry permit and camped near but far enough off the trail. I wouldn't say it was appealing, but it was fine. it was about 1/2 way between windigo and north desor. probably about 7-8 miles from windigo. our second day from there to little todd was the one that really challenged us.

Directionally challenged...comicly so.
Not all who wonder are lost...But I'm probably just lost.
Well We wound up doing rock harbor to daisy farm, Daisy to McCargoe, McCargoe to Todd, Todd to little Todd, Little todd to North Desor, North Desor to Washington Creek. We had planned on the shorter days to enjoy some down time at camp. Unfortunately the wife sprained her ankle on day two. Her ankle pain coupled with the ruff terrain made for some slower days. All in all really enjoyed our time on the island. We found it to be both rugged and beautiful. My one and only complaint was having to struggle to find a camp sight at the locations with a dock. Was a bit discouraging to walk a long day only to find most of the camp sights taken by people who just walked off the boat.
All in all Cant wait to go back.
Glad you enjoyed your trip! Sorry about your wife's ankle sprain.
