Maybe try Memquisit Lodge, their just east of 64 and may let you park for the 3 days. Plenty of empty islands up in West Bay too and I've often seen tents on them. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0CCIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.memquisitlodge.net%2F&ei=qg2SU_jVLYeOyATMq4DQAQ&usg=AFQjCNGSBtQDrB8MkFPhKPcQfp05MIyJ4w&bvm=bv.68445247,d.aWw

Lots of great replies here guys and it appears as if many of us have much to be proud of today. You know your always welcome here Jim. Gimme a call this evening after 7 or any time this weekend if you want.

If I recall my history correctly Glen, I think only 3 men survived the Hood sinking.

Yeah, me too Fred and although I went to France a couple times in the 60's we never had time to go to the Beaches although it was something I would have very much liked to have done. I did however see the German sub pens in Brest France and just the sight of them invoked thoughts of the terror those U-boats brought to so many men.

Yes I have Roy. The real name of K225 was HMCS Kitchener but in the movie it was called HMCS Donnacona

My Dad left Saskatchewan & joined the Navy in 1940 to fight the war and his brother went with him and joined the Army. They both fought the Germans for the next 5 years and both were among the thousands that hit France 70 years ago today. Dad's ship was in close to the shores of Juno trying to protect the soldiers while his brother was on the beach trying to get to cover before the German guns killed him. Dad & his brother both survived that horrible day and went on to live long and wonderful lives, but thousands upon thousands of men were killed fighting for us. We owe so much to those guys and I for one am proud to say my family volunteered to fight and helped make this world a better place for those of us that followed them. Dad and his ship

Mines closed too.

Best story I've read in a very long time Simon and it's fantastic to see Sean enjoying himself like that.

I live right in the heart of the Kawarthas Jack, but last year I think I only fished these waters maybe 3 times. Still makes for an enjoyable day around here but there's just too many small fish and I'd much rather catch one big fish than a dozen little guys.

I almost never fish the Kawarthas anymore so I probably won't be chasing any muskies till I'm on Nippissing the week of June 21st.

That really is a beautiful photograph, amazing detail !!

Mike and I fished together on the Larry a couple years back. Fun guy to fish with and you'll have a great time.

Great report for sure and it sounds like an outstanding trip with your dad !!

That's just plain nasty Brian.

I'm heading to the West Arm of Nippissing in 18 days and I'm hoping this is the only Skeeter I see in the entire trip

Some nice pics there Joey and hanging out with nature sure beats sitting around waiting for your truck.

I took a coffee out on the back deck about 5:30 this morning and was absolutely swarmed by the skeeters. Now I've been working in the yard since 6:30 and haven't seen a single one in the last hour.

Yup, it's almost that time Joey and we've already started getting our gear together, gonna be a great week. Looking forward to seeing you guys again.

Very nice pike indeed. Pretty simple to make a basic camera holder for when your alone in the boat. Piece of wooden dowel that's fit your rear seat post hole with a 3 sided box fasted to the top to hold your camera. Set the auto timer, lift the fish & smile

hahaha Good to see you boyz had a great day along with some very fine fish.

Good to hear everyone found that article interesting.

Here's an interesting story from a Peterboro news paper about old time lure makers, plus a notice about an upcoming antique lure show. Not sure if we're allowed to post links to newspaper articles or not, but I'll delete it if necessary. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thepeterboroughexaminer.com%2F2014%2F05%2F31%2Fthe-lures-of-peterboro-evinrude-centre-to-host-annual-spring-show-for-collectors-of-vintage-fishing-lures&ei=UBiLU4KdFI2Gqga-uIGgAw&usg=AFQjCNGLQUD3uP4OHL9xI50xsYZ32vXHHg

Sounds like an offer of a lifetime !!

Actually saw that video on this mornings news Gerritt, pretty darned comical LOL

Maybe I could hook him up to the cart Steve and he can help me haul firewood for the rest of the day LOL
