Yes we do - I'm in Whitby this Saturday afternoon - perhaps we can meet up
I'm gonna make and share a Google doc so we can try to organize the water taxis.
Also - are you guys up for a group dinner Friday night ?

More I think about it. I would love to go back to North tea. Last time I went it was just a quick overnight rainy night
Would love to spend a little more time exploring the area.

I can't do mother's day weekend and need to book time off this week.
We can do Algonquin Rain lake ( pending ice out ) as our first choice. Just need to watch...
I'm liking the weekend of May 6.
Are we stuck on Algonquin? Because, If we choose that weekend we can't reserve till ice out.
Could something like Niger lake be a backup? Or perhaps book...
I like the idea of rain lake access. It's nice that way.
Can we lock down a weekend?
I was thinking May 13/14 would be good..... but the 14 is mother's day
Wondering if May 6/7 is too early...
