How lucky we were that there was a cancellation at Turtle Creek Lodge on Manitoulin Island! We drove straight from Markdale to Tobermory, drove onto a ferry boat, took a gorgeous cruise north to the spirit island, and found our way to this secluded paradise on the biggest lake on the biggest island on a freshwater lake in the world! It was in this mystical place that we wrote and recorded our first few editions of our podcast series: A Walk Down Main Street. To check out the series in its entirety, go to our soundcloud page and take a stroll around!
One very touching thing that happened while we were at Turtle Creek – a couple got married down at the water! A bagpiper announced the surprise celebration and we joined in for the ceremonies. Later that night the couple treated the lodgers to a fireworks show and we watched from our cabin as we worked the night away…
A thank you to Jack and Joyce who made our stay so, so nice. I don’t want to advertise how amazing and gorgeous and beautiful their place is for fear that it will be all booked up for next summer when we want to go back… But that would be just too selfish, so here it is (but keep it under wraps!) http://www.manitoulin-island.com/turtlecreek/
Before we left we checked in with Points North on CBC Radio, to let the north know we were on our way to Little Current, then onto Sudbury. CBC.ca | Points North | Storymobile lets people trade stories for ice cream.
And zoom! we were off again to search out some more stories in this province of towns and trees…
