Port Hartley

We arrive in Port Hartley for a quick fuel stop and decide to spend the night. We are surprised to see that the streets of the entire town are built on boardwalks. They were originally built by Barbara's Grandfather, who was the Chief, because many people were so poor they couldn't buy shoes.  Wood is easier on their feet, especially in the winter when they get thirty feet of snowfall. Now they allow no cars in the town, only four wheelers, golf carts and snowmobiles.
