Yes! The Apostle Islands and Isle Royale are calling to me, too. Last fall I visited the islands for the first time during an amazing sailing trip. I haven't been to Isle Royale yet. Friends have raved about it. You are welcome to stay with my S.O. and I if you want to crash in the city sometime (Minneapolis). He gave the idea a green light :) We're only a couple blocks from the river and two main bike path connections. Possibilities!
