I always loved it when Julian would sing that song when I lived on the island.
Thank you for putting together this informative and wonderful documentary video.
Love this song! Brings back so many lovely memories of being there! Thank you, Julian and friends!
We love Gibson's. We've been going there for many years. Herb and Mari make it so welcoming. The property is perfect for relaxing and returning to the flow of nature. Everyone should have a place to go to like Gibson's.
I came to Washington Island way back in 1965. I was just five years old. We came up to visit some folks my parents met when my dad bought our first boat and he joined a US Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla in Ohio.. The people's last name was the Joeburgs. I remember that there was a "Potato Boat" moored in the harbor. I found from doing some reading that this must have been the last of such boats, and it left two years later in 1967. I "rediscovered" Washington Island as I have been doing initial planning and researching to do a Great Loop trip, with a stop on the island. I've been watching all these great films on KZread about Door County and the Island but I think I am going to plan a visit before I do the Loop, with a trip all the way from Florida in summer 2024. This place is gorgeous and fascinates me.
Have made the trip a few times now. First time was just with bicycles. Very nice excursion, though the bicycles were a bit ambitious for our family. (Especially since some roads have no shoulder.). Loved the history and the friendliness of all the folks, the shopping, and the beautiful scenery. Looking forward to the next trip, where we hope to include Rock Island.
Beautiful informative video thanks
My buddy owned some land up there. I think it was only a acre. But he gave his portion to his sister back in the 80s. Wonder what that same acre is worth it now?
I have wonderful memories of swimming out at the Hagens' in the 80s and 90s when my family would drive up to spend time with my grandparents. 😊 Some of my favorite childhood memories are from the Island.
Truly beautiful and a secret
One of my favorite vacation destinations!
We're coming! Plan for 3 months in Wisconsin, as my great-great-great-grandfather Ovren Mikkelson settled in Cambridge in 1871 together with four kids and grandchildren. We'll end our trip at Washington Island, reminds me of Helgøya Island in Lake Mjøsa:-)
Still sounding sweet. Waiting for Pete to rip into some rockabilly with that bass aflame. I miss you guys
Do not let fear dictate the originality of Washington Island. Implementing a stronger broadband such as 5G is not a good idea as 5g may be not be so great for our health and the health of the residents of the island. Covid is over a 99% survival rate. Those who get serious side of effects from Covid are from folks who need a healthier lifestyle. A person with old age can have a strong immune system also. The flu kills 35,,000 each year in the US and over 500,000 worldwide and this is with the flu vaccine. Heart disease kills 600,000 Americans each year, yet we don't go after the bad foods stop this pandemic. The point is to try to keep Washington Island true to itself. Fear may only destroy the island and we do not want crony capitalism to take over it. We should stand for true independence of the people. Turn off the television and the news, it is all fear monger. If I have to move to the island to defend and protect the people , I will.
It’s further East than Pensacola Florida
I didn’t believe you but I pulled up the map and sorry for doubting you lol
Such a fantastic documentary, we will see you all next week!!! Thank you for this introduction!
I just spent 3 nights at the Inn at Frog Hollow and 4 days on the Island...fantastic!
RIP Grandma and Grandpa Randolph.
Thank you for the information. I am only a visitor and my first visit was last summer but I made plans to come back this summer so the information you are giving is great for me. I will keep watching and getting the information about your wonderful island opening back up. I travel there with my RV and stayed at the campground and plan to again this year so if there are any updates about the campground that would also be appreciated. Thank you again and very informative.
What’s up?!! Just subbed to your channel! Did you consider using smzeus . c o m to help get your videos higher in the search results!?
I want to go back up and go to my family’s it is such a beautiful place on that island. I love to go over to the deck by the farmers museum and watch the sun set
Thank you for this update and Happy 80th Anniversary to the Ferry Line! Wife and I have been planning to check on our cabin on the island, but have been fighting the urge to travel. Hopefully by May things will settle down. Please keep the updates coming!
One of the best songs I’ve ever heard. Brings tears to my eyes each time I listen. Very touching.
Thank you so very much for this Video. If I could swing it, I would pack up my family and live there.

I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my login password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Mason Anders Instablaster ;)
@Khalid Alonso thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Khalid Alonso it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my account !
@Mason Anders No problem :)
Possible copyright issues, but i doubt that the song is being used for profit.
Omg, the chord changed are almost exactly those of Watching the River Run.
Hmmm sounds a lot like Watching the River Run by Loggins and Messina
A nice song, nice arrangement, and a good performance; philosophical.
Rock Island is a very beautiful and peaceful place. Everyone should see it at least once.
Carleton College, not Carleton University. :)
Love this song.
Can you show me how to tie these knots as you do them to fast for me
