We'd never been to 1000 Islands, but apparently, it was conceived, designed, and funded by taxidermists. Brian's note was "gee, there are a lot of non-native species here." Like - the 10 foot tall polar bear. There were also snakes and small rodents in formaldehyde, at least 15 stuffed bears, and a room devoted to Africa. There were more stuffed ducks that I could count. One nice thing was that there was a lot to touch. The worst thing was the glass bookcase filled with small dead birds - who looked as though they had crashed into the window pane or been caught by a cat earlier in the day.
After breakfast, we took a nature hike. There was a maple syrup house. There was also a teepee. Jacob's comment was "I'm not going in that dirty old tent."
We looked for fish in the very high flowing Fox River. They actually offer some kids fishing classes in the summer.
Due to contamination - please do not eat any of the fish that you catch. Under no circumstances should you consume the carp.
