Yes, Kelli...Thousand Islands is the place where 1000 island salad dressing was invented (seems Mr Boldt had something to do with that...he liked it and arranged to have it served at his hotels). And while everyone is sure there are a thousand islands...no one is really sure how many there really are. Seems that after the War of 1812, Canada, UK and USA decided that the boundary line would not split any island...so they are all either Canadian or American and the border line is very zig-zaggy. Five years ago they decided to count the islands ...with three groups participating, Canada, US and National Geographic. To qualify as an island, it had to be one foot square, always above water, and support the growth of at least one tree. No one could come up with the same number...so they just averaged them...over 1700. Most are individually owned...houses big and small. It was a site to see. All I know is that we were more than happy to be on a tour boat...some of those islands were dangerously small.
