My wife, and I are nearly loaded up for a trip to NW Ontario tomorrow morning. I am hoping on catching some nice fish, of course. It's always nice to meet up with old friends, and make some new friends if that works out.
I hopin' to get together with Paul, of course.

I can almost smell the walleye (they still call them pickerel?) frying! Enjoy your trip!

Make a slight detour in Fort Frances to the McDonald's and try the poutine. It's pretty good. Eating poutine makes you an official Canadian, eh?

Thanks men, we had ice cream cones at McDonalds Fort Frances, when I bought the 20 horse Merc a few years back.

Hi Richard, It'll depend how log you're up for ? Deb, the Kids & I are off to NYC tomorrow & won't be back until Monday morning. Deb's sister is having a "destination" wedding in Central Park. Looking forward to the family catch up, the City, not so much ! The following Wednesday/Thursday, we will be camping for an "extended" long weekend !
Paul.

I threw it back, close to being illegal. I need to read the book closer.

This is the infamous Wabigoon Tavern, or what is left of it. In it's day it hosted more fights than The Montreal Forum, and Madison Square Garden combined.

Looks like you are off to a good start Richard. Keep the pictures coming. I'm heading back up there in July, but have already packed. I can't wait for that first shore lunch.
Best Regards,
