October 7 - Back to 1000 Islands
This time we took a 2 hour tour from Rockport.  It was very cold but sunny and this part had even more magnificent properties.  We even got to see Boldt Castle, it was his chef that invented 1000 Island Dressing.  We didn't take the tour of the castle but we went all around the Island (Hart Island) and saw if from all angles.

Don't know what this is but it sure is ugly!

We stayed at the Ivy Lea Park, we saw if from the water and it looked really nice so we went looking for it.  Took awhile to thaw out after being so cold.  It was surprising how many cruise ships were out today as most places have already closed for the season.

The next morning we took a walk around the park, it was really beautiful in the morning with the mist around the bridge.  We had no idea how close we were to the water.  I wondered why we heard traffic noise during the night.

All the little inlets are so peaceful and calm looking

The tower in the background is a lookout, it goes up very fast apparently, none of us wanted to go

This bridge is going from Canada into the States and that is why the traffic noise
