This is a continuation of the
great Rattlesnake Island invasion of 2006.B
By the way, the name Rattlesnake Island, probably
originated from the shape of the island which if you
have a vivid imagination looks like a rattle snake. But
there is also a persistent rumor that during probaition
the island was used by some unscrupulous rum runners, or
or may be the mob to bring whiskey in from Canada. Since
there are not too many safe landing points I can imagine
that the island had guards stationed you would shake a
rattle snakes rattle if a Federal Marshal got to close
to the island. |

Even today there are signs that expressly state you are
not welcome on the island unless you have a invitation.
There were several guest cottages besides the restaurant
and pool bar where we were able to explore. I counted
about 6 private homes. Notice they have a 4 hole golf
course that is located on the airstrip. The sign reads
look out for landing airceaft. |
