What should we study in the Apostle Islands?

If weather permits we will reach the Apostle Islands National Lake Shore in about a week. Many people have told us about the Apostle Islands, and we are very excited about visiting this amazing park, and we need your help deciding what we should study and explore. The park is known for many things, but sea caves, black bears, and Madeline Island are three of the most famous. There are several sets of sea caves in and around the Apostle Islands that have been carved out of the sandstone by wind and waves. They are supposed to be the best examples of caves on Lake Superior, so one options would be to have us explore the sea caves in our kayaks. The area is also home to a lot of black bears. One of the islands is supposed to have the highest concentration of black bears in the country, so we could spend time looking for bears. Finally, Madeline Island is the largest island in the Apostle Islands, and there are people that live on the island all year long. There is a ferry that goes out to the island in the summer, and in the winter people drive over the ice to get to the island. We could visit Madeline Island and talk to the local people about what it is like to live on and Island in Lake Superior. Help us decide what we should do in the Apostle Islands.

After three days of 30 to 45 mile per hour winds, the gale started to wane. We were tired of sitting in our tent, so we decided to muscle our way into a stiff headwind rather than spend another night...
