The Thousand Islands

Northern New York borders the St. Lawrence Seaway and so we took another cruise! This cruise was down the seaway for 9 miles to an island called the Dark Island. Here you will find Singer Castle. I quote from the brochure.."built at the turn of the 19th century by Commodore Bourne, President of the Singer Sewing Machine Company as a hunting lodge. The castle remains just as it was during its heyday-fully furnished with antiques, coats-of-mail, original paintings and more." We are also camped on a beautiful island on Lake Ontario. The area is called the 1000 islands because the seaway is filled with tiny little islands.
