Let’s try this again … Columbia Harbour House?
I went to the Thousand Islands (I didn't count them all, so I'm taking their word) when I was about 11 with my parents. If you get to see Boldt Castle on the heart shaped island he had created, do so. From what I understand it has been finished or nearly finished now. The story behind that is that he had it built for his wife. She died after the outer walls and roof were complete and a lot of the interior pieces had arrived. At her passing construction was stopped immediately by him and he abandoned the project. Things like marble fireplace surrounds and the grand stairway had arrived. When I saw it those items were just sitting inside the shell of the castle still in the crate they were shipped in. In other words it was very poignant even to an 11 year old. That memory stuck with me all these years. From what I understand they completed or at least partially completed it since then. They have had 63 years to do so,We just booked a campground for our first trip.
I’m excited and sick with worry, all at the same time. Mike hasn’t even hooked the trailer up to the hitch yet, and here we are heading out 365 km (each way!) for our very first outing.
Thousand Islands … here we come. Now the pressure is on to get everything ready for Tuesday.
Who thinks a trip to Boldt Castle is in our near future?

We’ve been to Boldt Castle many times, but not since the pandemic. Some years, they knock out a newly refinished room or two; other years, none at all.I went to the Thousand Islands (I didn't count them all, so I'm taking their word) when I was about 11 with my parents.
