Ivory Island

We are now down to our last week here. It has been very interesting. So here I go to try and let you see the station here. Once you land on the chopper pad which is on a small island off the main on. You that the long bridge and board walk up to the main island and the lighthouse. On your way you will pass the engine room and on your left there is a building that has lots of glass and rock. Well two of the walls are rock and cement very rustic looking this will be used as a greenhouse.There is also a small raspberry bush area that is well kept and sure has been here for yrs, along with a smoke house for the fish. Keep walking you will see the metal stand for the highline, and you come to the first house which is known as the assistants house only because it is the smaller of the two. You can also now see to the end of the boardwalk where you see the Canadian flag and the lighttower. And the larger of the two houses. But before you get there they have great garage, it is large enough to keep the tractor which is needed for getting the larger packages when the chopper comes in, but to work on it if necessary. In then in the back area there is a nice place for keeping the lawnmower and other things like that. The view from the right side of the walk way at this point is just super. Ocean, waves, rocks and blue sky is really something to see.

The larger house here is older it used to have the light on the top of it. But now with the new rules they had to take it down and have moved it to the tip of the island and it is a metal tower because of the high wave action. That would be something to see here.

I have found that one of small houses here is a very old chicken coop. And now wonder how long it has been here like from the start of the light. They are just using it a storage shed.. Speaking of sheds there is a lovely large building out the back of the main house with work shop, back areas for storage and then the upper level for even more storage. I have never see a station with that much storage.

The views here are just something else with the wave action much like Egg Island but you can see alot more here. So I can see how things could get washed out here for sure.

Hope the photos made it on one is the long boardwalk and then two of the views around here.. well all I never get comments so I am never sure if it is just family and a few friends ready.. about life on the lights.. smile
