Never visit it, but with your description, what do you think of that : http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=q&hl=fr&q=alexandria+bay,+NY&ie=UTF8&t=h&om=1&z=17&ll=44.342757,-75.971146&spn=0.003806,0.010353 ??? Google maps give 44.342 deg. N, 75.971deg. W Romain Jack Parsell <jparsell-ai6B2lNGiXhWk0Htik3J/[email protected]> a écrit : Yes, I have seen it many times while on tour boat trips in the Thousand Islands,and each time the tour boat guide gave the same story, plus, that it is the shortest International Bridge. The US island is very small, but does have a small building on it. I can't give you an exact location since my topo program doesn't show some of the Canadian sections along the River. It is north of Alexandria Bay, NY. If you have a better Map program, look in the vicinity of 44.374 deg. N, 75.902 deg. W. Jack ----- Original Message ----- From: Lowell G. McManus To: BORDERpoint ; Boundary Point Sent: Monday, November 06, 2006 6:53 PM Subject: [BoundaryPoint] His own private international bridge On another group to which I belong, the following was posted about a boat tour in the Thousand Islands along the CAUS boundary: _____ One of the interesting sights on the tour was a house that was on one of the islands. The island was on the Canadian side of the border. He also owned a smaller island that was on the US side of the border that was connected by a small bridge - probably not more than 20 feet long. The tour guide said that whenever the guy got mad at his wife, he would leave the country (meaning walk across the small bridge to his other island). _____ Can anyone confirm this private international bridge?
