In spring, summer and fall back in the 70s, and 80s and long before our RVing days we could be found on any given weekend in Alexandria Bay, NY. Alex Bay is considered the heart of the Thousand Island and is a very beautiful area along the St Lawrence River.
It was a 6 hour drive, one way, but we would spend on average 15 long weekends a year in Alex Bay. Whenever we visited the Bay we always stayed at Fisherman's Wharf Motel and typically room 21 which adjoined the office. At the time, Bob and Maryjo Kent owned the Wharf and we became and still are very close friends. Fisherman's Wharf Motel was absolutely our home away from home. My daughter and Son-in-Law also loved Fisherman's wharf so much so that they picked the Wharf for their marriage and honeymoon. Here's one of their wedding day pics..
You can't see it here but they are standing behind a solid brass ship's wheel which stood in front of the Wharf's office.
Well Alex Bay and the Wharf are a bit less inviting for us and it has nothing to do with our new lifestyle or the Monty. Our beloved Fisherman's Wharf has been demolished to make way for condos.
Fisherman's Wharf Motel as we remember it.
The Log Cabin in the upper right hand corner was Bob and Maryjo's house and our accommodations in dead of winter. Yes, we even continued visiting in the winter.
