S3 E7: Aaron Persenaire, Ranger III Ship Captain

Out of the 63 National Parks—or even all of the 423 National Park properties--Isle Royale ranks one of the toughest to get to. It takes some planning because you can only arrive by float plane or boat. Since 1958, the 165 foot Ranger III, has been making the 73 mile journey from Houghton, Michigan, to Isle Royale’s Rock Harbor. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara learn more about the job and highlights of the 6 hour journey from Captain Aaron Persenaire.  Sponsored by Cafe Imports, a Minneapolis-based importer of fine, specialty green coffees.
