Since the "laughter is the best medicine" topic seems to have run its course it seems like the time to start a new diversion. So here goes the tripping trivia challenge. Simple rules the trivia must be canoe or tripping related and in order to post a trivia question you must honestly answer the previous trivia question. The answer to your trivia question must be something that could be found by searching on the internet using the hints you have provided so no trivia asking for example the name of the pond in your backyard. Here is the first trivia question which I've made easy to get the challenge started. Name the boy scout camp on Lows Lake (Adirondacks) and tell who it was named after.

Assuming Sweetfancymoses answered the original question correctly that would mean it's up to him to post the next trivia question.
Alan
Correct Lana, er I mean Alan. Would Sweetfancymoses like to buy a vowel?

I'm still waiting for Waterspyder to come home from the grocery store.
The trippers are waiting for the Hoosier state to post the next challenge.
Which of the following are the three largest Provincial Parks / Wildernesses by area: La Vérendrye, Killarney, Sylvania, Wabakimi, Atikaki, Woodland Caribou, Boundary Waters, Algonquin, and Quetico? When adding up the area of the three largest, are they larger or smaller than Lake Ontario?
I was told there would be no math on this exam.
I reread Waterspyder's challenge and I admit you have a point.

Mine was probably a trick question. I once asked dave and he said he didn't know himself.
Wabakimi, Woodland Caribou, Quetico.. Had the pleasure of paddling all of them!
892,361
450,000
476,000
Hectares You do the math.
Lake Ontario:
area
18,962 km 2 more or less depending on water levels.
They PP are smaller in area combined than Lake Ontario.
Do I get money or did I hit bankrupt?
I guess I need to modify the rules -- so someone like me, who has killed a large number of brain cells over the years, has a chance of answering the challenge. So I'll start again with another simple question. "Who was George Washington Sears and what was the name of his canoe?"
Wabakimi and Woodland Caribou are in the top three.
Nessmuk, and I'll guess at Wee Lassie. I didn't check Wikipedia.

I looked over my classmate's shoulder but didn't copy.
La Verendrye : 12,589 sq.km
Killarney : 10,000 sq.km
Wabakimi : 8,920 sq.km
Lake Ontario : 7,340 sq.km
ps Have I been left behind?! Is Mr Waterspyder onto the next chapter already?!

I guess I got fired from the thread. (Algonquin is pretty big.)
Geo. Washington Sears, known as Nessmuk, paddled the Sairy Gamp
Which La Verendrye.? One is a Reserve Faunique in QC and the other a PP in Ontario. The PP is tiny.The Reserve is huge. Woodland Caribou is out. Quebec wins by a huge margin. Lake Ontario uses.
I would rather teach fourth grade math homeschool!
