    The tree behind you when you said you didn't know what kind it is? It's a tamarack. It's distinctive because the limbs appear to be stuck into the trunk at a 90 degree angle, and it's a deciduous conifer. In the UK it's called a larch. If you're a Monty Python fan, you may remember the recurring gag about learning how to identify different kinds of trees: the only tree they ever show is the larch.

    Fun video, thanks. So now I have some question opting in my head. Can you eat on the island in winter?, Can you hotel there? Or is it simply bday trips via ferry? For the residents who live there, are there schools there for their children? Or is it just a skeleton crew to ‘hold the fort down’ during winter?

      Hi Matt. That is Sugar Loaf Rock. It is located closer to the east side of the island. It is just one of several interesting land formations on the island. It is marked on most maps and isn’t a terribly long bike ride or walk from downtown. There are some hills though.

Thankfully they allowed us to vote on it and 2/3 of voters said NO.

    Great video! I didn’t even know that one existed. Growing up we always used the International Bridge in the Soo because, from here, it’s very close. Before 9/11 passports were not needed to go to Canada. The last time I went with my family to Canada was 1996. I haven’t been back since thanks to needing a passport or an enhanced driver’s license because I’ve never had the money for that kind of thing, but maybe someday.
