Lake Geneva is 70 miles north of Chicago. It's a good-sized spring-fed lake 7 miles by 2 miles. A rail line was built from Chicago to this lake in 1870. When Chicago burnt down in the fire of 1871 the rich and famous people who already had houses up here just lived here while their Chicago houses were builing rebuilt. The rail line is gone now and the travel time in a car is no fun.
This boat is over 100 years old.
We took a 2 1/2 hour tour which is the "mail boat." It actually delivers mail to 60 docks around the lake.
Here is Dan, the mail guy, delivering the mail.
