Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.
Tad Williams

In loving memory of Madeleine and Robert Richardson. I am grateful for the time that we had, and I miss you both. You will be with me where ever the road may lead.

Kakabeka Falls and Kenora

Another beautiful stretch of scenery along hwy 17 in northern Ontario. This is Kakabeka Falls, right off the hwy. I also saw a bald eagle up close, a moose cross the hwy at a trot about 200 yds away (thankfully the timing was impecable except that I couldn't get the camera quick enough).
 I stopped at an indian outpost where they were building a log cabin. Everyone has seen a cabin; but I never saw one being built. 2 guys, logs, axe, insulating fiberglass and some kind of glue is all that is needed. Well that and a lot of elbow grease.
Twighlight on the river's edge at a campgroung in Kenora. A young buck and a doe walked within a few feet, knowing full well that they are within the Kenora hunting safe zone. A few people have said that this river has some of the best fishing in the world... not sure if they were biased or if there is something to it, but I don't have a pole, so i can't really test out the claim. I did see a few langoustines?. They are larger than crayfish and look more like a lobster in the tail and claws
Kenora population under 15,000

this guy seems to have the right idea... Nice pad!
