This amazing island was shared with me in total confidence by a local; I had shown up in her hide shop many years prior and she recognized me. I asked for a place to stay the night and she directed me to the island, “Walk down the trail that veers left. It will look like it ends, but keep going. Just when you think you’re lost, the path will open to the lake’s edge.”

“How will I know when I’m there?” I asked.
“Trust me. You’ll know,” the shopkeeper replied.
