T...Thank you so much for all the terrific comments. The links are great! We are excited to discover Manuel is the builder. <br /> It seems that a car free island is the perfect place to try out every kind of cargo idea. The link to the community site- above at torontoisland- is so nice and full of info we were curious about.<br /> We can't recommend the ferry trip highly enough. It was beautiful on a blustery spring morning with a little bit of shivery wind. I think the only thin we would have brought was a thermos of hot drinks. It's nice to know that the peaceful feeling is still there as the air gets warmer. The boys loved the ride through the houses and I wished we had more time along the run by the southern edge of the island as well.Chicargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166650767505966551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682899986857040901.post-33048158271806117692012-04-13T11:05:14.053-05:002012-04-13T11:05:14.053-05:00If you are serious about a cart design, you should...If you are serious about a cart design, you should really see all the island cart designs here! There are many more than shown. Most done by Manuel, but some other cart makers and one-off's by individual islanders that might interest you.<br /><br />great article!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682899986857040901.post-49885431277569173502012-04-13T10:14:05.359-05:002012-04-13T10:14:05.359-05:00I like the wheel chair one, my nephews father is r...I like the wheel chair one, my nephews father is recently been disabled.

The community is very vibrant. <br />There is a new tree tour on the island:<br />http://canadiantreetours.org/tours.html<br />Great place to visit, by bike or on foot.AFHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07688749467016491027noreply@blogger.com
