After many years of remodeling for retiring to our island camp for "yearround" living we retired in 1989. Our hovercraft was the connection to Glendale and the car.
(see "THINGS THAT FLOAT", posted by Island Girl). We
frequently went to shore, often at night, for supplies and
our social life. Transportation was by whatever was appropiate for the ice conditions. Sled, car, or HVC. It was
a wonderful adventure for 8 years. When my wife became ill we came ashore for the winter - christmas to iceout! I will be forever grateful for those 8 years. Our grandchildren
are the 6th generation to enjoy Lockes Island, both summer and winter visits.
