Good news. Stopped by last Saturday and had a chat with some members of the Gariépy familly. They are going to reconstruct the buildings and then re-equip coming this fall. We wish them the best of luck. G.

I use something similar to what Ralph uses but for Android. the app is named Canada Maps. It uses the Canadian Topographic System. Comes in 2 versions. I use the free version for hiking in my area. The Pro Version permits downloading maps for offline use from wifi and costs $37.99 CND. G.

I drove by there the other day and there is no reconstruction going on, however I do not know what their intentions are. Next time I go by I'll stop and ask. G.

Was wondering why my VPN blocked a logon attempt early this morning. Thanks for the info. G.

Thanks for your post Erica. G.

Summer = neoprene sock inside a pair of wet water shoes + running shoes around camp. Spring and Fall = high Bogs with heavy wool socks + hiking boots around camp. G.
