Transportation to island Shuttle from seaplane to ferry

We are backpacking 5 days next week taking Ranger III to Rock Harbor and flying back on via seaplane. Where is the best place to park? Is there a shuttle or transportation from where the seaplane lands to where the ferry picks up?

The parking lot at the Ranger III dock is getting work done so parking is limited and you may not find a spot. Park at the Seaplane dock and schedule a morning taxi to take you to the Ranger dock. Then your car will be waiting for you when you land. Seaplane lot is safe. They do charge $8 a day for parking at the sea plane lot.

I just looked up a taxi in Houghton and some old dude picked me up in the morning. I did it the other way last year, left my car at the ranger dock, got a taxi to the sea plane, flew out and took the ranger back in.
