Confident in their decision, Digger and Wayne take to the water in a fourteen-foot rowboat, and following a harrowing adventure across deep, blue waters, they make it to the incomparable Isle Royale, off Michigans Upper Peninsula.

Residents of the UP, known as Yoopers, these boys are ready for trouble, and trouble finds them right away when National Park Ranger Robert Davieswhom the boys call Dudley, after Dudley Doorightdecides to keep a close watch. Even so, the rangers careful observations cant stop the boys from bootlegging, getting cozy with local gals, and helping travelers in need.

By the end of the summer, these best pals have broken every rule in the bookand forced Dudley to write a few new ones. Isle Royale is a majestic piece of untouched land, lacking in electricity, but filled to the brim with colorful personalities and freedom. Digger and Wayne will never be the same but neither will the little island that feels just like paradise.
