Today we rented a golf cart, the foremost means of transportation on the island, and toured many of the historical and quaint sites. The most impressive stop was the Glacier Grooves Geological Preserve. It occupies about 3 1/2 acres and is the most famous glacier grooves in the world. Beginning over 2 million years ago, long cycles of climate change from warm to cold allowed several massive glaciers to form and flow from Canada into Ohio. By about 14,000 years ago, the last ice sheet to cover northern Ohio was gone. This island retained a spectacular reminder of the glaciers presence. These glacier grooves were carved into the limestone bedrock by the actions of the advancing ice and melt-water.
Some of our other stops were the sandy beach on the northern coast, an afternoon beverage at a local winery, lunch at the West End for chicken kabobs, and an evening return for the best view of the setting sun.
Tomorrow will allow us to finish our touring before we leave on Thursday for our next port of Cedar Point Marina on the mainland.
