Lake Huron Circle Tour 2014, Day 8

[mark_asphodel]

 Drummond Island is the kind of place where you check into your hotel after 8 PM and find they've left the key in the door for you, and when you go to check out there's a note on the door saying they ran to the store and will be back in a few.  The ferry to it is equally low-stress: show up at the scheduled time, drive on, drive off.  No reservations required or even possible.

Also it is one of the few places on earth containing alvar plain geological formations.  I've seen one of the other alvars, on Manitoulin a few years back, but this one's allegedly better-preserved.
