Kelleys Island

A short ferry boat ride from the mainland is Kelleys Island. It is less than 5 square miles and most visitors get around by golf cart.

We went to the island to see the glacial striations or “glacial grooves” in the Glacial Grooves State Memorial. They are 400-foot long scratches in the bedrock cut by glacial abrasion. These are considered the largest and most easily accessible in the world.


When Jill heard that Geoff and Nike were going to take their dog Ben to the island, she decided that she was going to take Bix. He especially enjoyed the golf cart ride.


Dinner at the Kelleys Island Brewery. Nike, Ben, Glenn, Jill and Geoff. Bix is not visible but is by Jill’s feet. Bix is totally not perturbed by dogs, a fact that irritates some of them.

And as the sun slowly sets over Lake Erie, we say good by to Kelleys Island.

Loved the photos on Kelleys Island. Geoff looks great. Either he's lead a good life or there's a nasty looking portrait of him in his attic that is doing the aging for him.
