General Road and Highway Discussion

[darts]

I get they don't want people driving through, but I really don't like the way this whole "pass" thing smells.

We wanted to drive to Boblo Island a few years back, for historic reasons. There's a small ferry that goes over to it. It holds like 10-15 cars. About 5 cars were lined up to board. When it arrived, we all went to drive on. Ours was the only one stopped by some kid in an orange safety vest.

"Uh, where are you going?"
"...across to the other side?"
"Do you live there?"
"No...?"
"Well, uh... I can't really let you go across. We don't really want people going over that don't live there."
".....?"

It just felt totally unofficial and really pissed me off (and we'd driven for like 3 hours just to check it out), so we turned around and went home. Hate stuff like this.

As I understand it the ferry is paid for and run by the resident's of the island, so just their guests and themselves can use it.

You can go there by boat yourself on the beach from the southwest.

Does that mean you didn't stay to go to Fort Malden?
