August of 2008 we were fortunate to be invited to join friends of ours at their cottage at a location which shall remain a secret. The only thing I’ll say is that it’s a lot closer than Manitoulin Island and it’s a lot quieter too.

As you can tell it’s pretty amazing. No power, unless you happened to bring a generator and own a huge TV antenna and have a portable flat screen monitor with a tuner so you can watch the Olympics or the Hockey playoffs in the spring.

You can even get cell phone service if you stand on one foot at the western tip of the island and don’t rotate.
