The Arrival

For the past few hours, total strangers have become united, not as acquaintances or friends, but united in the power of what lies ahead.

The feeling of excitement, awe, exhilaration, hope, fear, apprehension have all arrived.  Soon the journey begins with a dip of the paddle, the lacing of boots, the stroll to the lodge, or the turn of the key.

For these visitors have “Things to Do”, which expand their horizons, challenge their abilities, deepen friendships, bond father to son, mother to daughter, give meaning to life, relax the soul, slow the pace of life, humble the mind, and create the avenue for change.  The arrival unites them all with the awesome power found inside Isle Royale National Park.
