Quetico closed too

Looks like the Syrupheads (term of endearment, rest easy) are following suit and closing Quetico. That might be a first.

Blazing hot, windy, dry as a bone.

Going to get worse before it gets better.

Nothing to do but wait it out in the sweltering heat. At least the grass doesn’t need mowing twice a week. Too hot to ride the bike. I toyed with finally heading to Armstrong to finally see/fish Wabakimi, but RV camping is an expensive proposition there, and there’s fire up there too, so who knows?

Wish I hadn’t spent the last two weeks buying supplies and loading up the trailer. I guess it will keep. Food containers and the blue barrel are staged in the extra bedroom.

I’ve got two additional permits for August entry, one for September. July is a busy.

Northern Ontario is basically on fire right now. As I speak, the sky is an unreal orange, it looks like the end of the world. Three fires on or around Marshall Lake, and to the west, seems like there is more on fire than not.

If what I am seeing is accurate, the amount of land that has burned within Wabakimi so far is approaching the size of Rhode Island. It's a huge amount.
