A Little Piece of Narnia

I am glad that Lake Superior is freezing cold - even on a hot day in August.  I am glad that it takes a few hours of driving on hilly, twisty roads to get to a beach.  I am glad that there is a fee to park your car in the provincial parks and that there are absolutely no places to grab lunch on a long weekend - a bag of cheese popcorn shared between three vehicles will totally suffice.  I am glad they don't really have Bathtub Island on a map and deliberately omit any mention of it to tourists passing through. 

Otherwise, it would be over-run with condos and beach umbrellas and dogs and...well, people. To all who venture there, it is a special secret place, a secret shared by only a choice few. 

And we want to keep it that way.

It is a special place, one of the most beautiful.
