Lotsa rain and lotsa ducks Rich LOL

when the ducks move into the ditch on your front lawn.

Don't worry about it Barry, she did nothing wrong.

That dog laying on you looks as big as the grizzly you showed us before LOL

Thanks Barry, appreciate your animal wisdom.

Your pretty knowledgeable on animals Barry so I'm curious as to what you think this track may be that I came across behind my place a few years back. Pretty sure it's too big for a coyote and no big dogs around here at the time so I'm guessing a wolf....any thoughts?

Your right, that park is in a beautiful location. We used to camp there way back in the 50's before trailers were allowed and they just had wooden platforms to put your tent on. The restaurant right at the entrance to the park is nice too with good food and good prices.

Yes, that's Burleigh Falls and I'm just a couple minutes south of there so go thru the area quite often and can't ever remember seeing anyone paddling down those rapids. I often wondered why and maybe the answer is the rock your talking about. Sure is a purdy place to go though.

Not at all Barry, infact I found your story very interesting. Couple years back I was walking along a dirt road thru the woods up on Lake Nipissing and I heard a branch break to my right. I looked over and a small bear cub came out from behind a fallen tree very close to me and then another behind him (her) and then sure enough Momma came out too. She pushed between the 2 cubs then lowered her head and her ears went back and she was just glaring at me with a look I'll never forget. I'm no bear expert but her meaning was very clear and I figured I'd better back away very quietly. She kept her eyes on my till I was far enough away and I just headed back to the cabin and never saw them again. Funny thing was it was unnerving at the time but now I'm very happy it did happen and it's a memory I'll have for a long time.

Just mine is fine Terry LOL

When my son was about 10 years old he went down those rapids on a rubber air mattress LOL

Thanks Bud, I was just trying something new.

test test test test All done messing around.

I don't mind the black bears hanging around my place Barry but not sure I'd want Grizzles in my yard LOL

Bears are somewhat common around my place Barry and one nice encounter was walking out on the back deck early one morning and finding this big fella laying in my yard.

Thanks Barry, you've shown us a few excellent critter pictures, specially that grizzly.

A boat was running around Clear Lake yesterday towing a water skier, mind you he was wearing a wetsuit but still a gutsy move LOL

Beautiful work Chris, really nice.

Looks great Pete, you bud has some talent for sure.

My last boat was glass and it was far better than any of my other boats and if I ever buy another boat it will definitely be glass again.

I saw 6 robins this morning and a bear turned over a neighbors BBQ last night so your right, it must be spring, even though we've still got plenty of snow but it's starting to go.

Fishing used to be so simple before all the crazy expensive electronics came along LOL

Good to hear your still getting into them Mike.

Lots of guys for sure Bill and this is only my opinion but I'd second what someone said above and try and get out with Marc Thorpe if possible. He knows that river inside out and works his butt off to find the fish. That fish in my 3rd picture above came on Marcs boat when I fished with him many moons ago.
