Oh wow. Just discovered that scrolling/zooming in on the map changes from map to satellite. Love that. Also, thank you gentlemen for the trip photos, they compliment the route in real time perfectly, making me wish I were there.

He's a lucky guy to be doing this route, especially with higher water levels.

These are impressive skills. This sculpture would look great perhaps on public display somewhere in town. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/geraldton-giant-moose-sculpture-1.7263516

We all have our own right and wrong answers. Personal biases and fantasies abound. Makes it a colourful world. I read recently an article in which a dozen or so chefs and food writers gave their opinions about their one and only favourite knife in the kitchen (home or professional). There were...

I like the idea of a folder and belt sheath. They can be bought separately. That combo will make it a serious tool for the young man. Sorry can't help you with choices, there are just so many coming at different price points, but you could still keep it under $50. I would suggest a small folder...

Looking forward to this TR Gamma. Take plenty of pics, including some thoughts on using each of your paddles.

I've only ever sprayed airless, different machines for different applications/projects. No boats and no marine grade product. Temps, dust, drafts, humidity. Open time is an issue especially. Ventilation a must along with NIOSH respirators always. But I get that maybe a number of thin coats is...

Does anyone spray?

If you start numbering the years you'll start numbering the seasons. Then you'll number the trips and eventually get down to the days. This is where and when you'll find yourself clock watching. That's no way to live. Make plans, sensibly adjust the expectations, and accept the consequences of...

As much as signs of this suburban scene irritate me I never actually knock anything down. I'd feel more of a vandal than an eco warrior. Maybe these peeps have just grown up (a little) from their beach days of building sand castles. I don't kick them down either. Like clootie trees and love...

In my humble opinion the best lake in the US or anywhere for that matter is the one nobody else knows about.

When I was a kid any tree was a friend if it reliably provided shade and shelter on long hot summer days and thru sudden downpours. Closer to home a white paper birch in our yard has long been loved and appreciated for it's ever abundant supply of scrolls. I gather them each season for tripping...

Closer to home the answer is easy. Our forsythia shrub that yearns to be a tree requires annual pruning, and like an unruly child fidgetting in the barbers chair this gangly growing specimen resists taming. Maybe I should just give in and let it grow long locks but the wife won't have it. So...

Steamboats stopped plying the waters long before I spent vacations there. http://www.ottertooth.com/Temagami/History/steamer1.htm Good luck with your trip. It sounds wonderful!

There is ample free parking at the end of Central Access Rd where cottagers and Temagami Island FN park (they have their own resstricted parking area). This is a Lake Temagami access with docks and boat ramp. However this is a drive outside of town, but if you wanted to alter your route...

Just some ideas. Temagami Outfitters is located not far from the docks, they might know about parking. An OPP office is located across from the docks, they might be of help. And then there's the Info desk in the old train station. Otherwise though not in the village possibly there is Temagami...

Your post-trip backyard scatter looks like mine. Clotheslines are sooo handy aren't they?! I daydream while I'm deconstructing the whole affair, remembering the small moments we enjoyed while I do the tedious tasks of drying, reorganizing, packing away...extends the trip. The very little I know...

It's looking really good to me! Can't wait for the rain to let up.

When my late father was in recovery for a serious health issue he was advised to get out and about going for walks. In addition to that he acquired a treadmill. I remember he mentioned the tediousness of it all, so I thought I'd be helpful by gifting him a new fangled portable tape cassette...

Hmm. I checked and you don't appear on this data base. Yet. You may've provided them the best fishing story ever. https://bfro.net/GDB/newadd.asp?Show=AB
