Canada Day 3 - At The Lodge, Little Current & Some Fishing

 

That microwave was a worthy opponent!  I think it was the 4th day by the time I got it figured out!

Good morning!  The boys left to go out fishing at 5am.

We drove down into Little Current on Manitoulin Island for no other reason that to look at something other than camp.  You should search for "fun facts about Manitoulin Island"!  Here's a little taster for ya: "Manitoulin Island covers an area of 2,766 km² (1,068 sq mi), making it the largest island in a freshwater lake globally and the 174th largest island in the world. It contains 108 freshwater lakes, some of which have their own islands, creating a unique “island within a lake on an island” phenomenon. The largest lake on the island is Lake Manitou, at 104 km² (40 sq mi), which is the largest freshwater lake on a freshwater island.".



This is the bridge that you cross to get to Manitoulin Island.  It swivels and retracts to allow larger vessels thru, which is what the next several pics are showing.






We didn't know it yet at this time, but this pic is showing the butt-end of the boat that we'll be on and the passage that we will traverse on a later day for a dinner cruise.

Better shot of the boat.



Back at camp with the boys fishing off the docks.  The water on Huron was too choppy for that boat that you see.

Just a few pics from my morning walk.



I spent a LOT of time in this location just chillin', reading, and sometimes doing flat-out nothing at all!

A view from that vantage point showing the Northern waters of Lake Huron.

From the same vantage point, but looking upstream.

I have no pics of that evening but it ended with a whole bunch of people sitting at picnic tables sharing drinks and stories.  It was a blast!!!
