Constance Island Aug. 14/12

I can never figure out how a tree this size can grow out of a pile of rocks like this!                 Since it was supposed to rain and t-storm all day today, we decided to stay put.  Guess what, it didn't!  But we had a restful day.

We walked around the island again today, and swam a few times.          I persevere through trails like this........

.......to get to trails like this.

There are a lot of trees like this on the island, but I have yet to see or hear a woodpecker.

Guess there was a fire on Hill Island this evening - 3 firetrucks went over the bridge.

This boat reminded me of the "Spook" boat, the big launch they used to have on Spook Island, Rice Lake, where I worked as a teenager.  It never had a canvas top on it though. 

Two kids on the boat in front of us.  They do some stuff like this, but mostly they read!  If you can imagine with boys about 10 years old!
