I am so very jealous of this picture!

Well I'm definitely going to do my best to make it there. Last week I would have been an instant yes but as some of you know the reasons for my bailing out on the "Gearing up for winter hang" has changed my situation a bit. That is a good weekend for me because I have a Stat holiday on the Monday. I hope there will be enough snow.

Yeah I agree. We're lucky to have such a fantastic photographer and gearhound in [o]TTer. He's also very adept at generating kindling.

Flattery...as if my ego wasn't out of control already!! Fine kindling is merely the byproduct of whittling toothpicks out of logs, it’s amazing the lengths we'll go to when we need a toothpick, or maybe that’s just me

Where: Algonquin Park Highway 60 Corridor: Exact location TBD

As for a location in Algonquin Park. I will throw out the recommendation of the Mike's that we met at Valens. That is the Old Railway Bike Trail with access via the Pog Lake Camground. I like that it is a relatively flat trail with only a couple of hills to contend with. Looking at the Google Maps of the area, the Old Railway Bike trail is pretty close to the Madawaska River and after a short distance hits the top end of Whitefish Lake and is about a 2km trek in (roughly).

Cheers

I do want to go to this... But I think that I'm out of vacation until MAHHA... Those Fridays sure do go though the vacation time quick.

I'll look into it but I think i'm shot for anything not encompassed by a weekend.

Dan's vacation comment confused me until I looked at the dates, I thought we were doing the Saturday to the Monday (As Monday is a stat Holiday) so no vacation time would be needed? I can't do the 17th; another Vacation Request in Feb could lead to one dead Water Mammal If going from Firday to Sunday is prefered can I suggest the first weekend in March (2nd to 4th)??
