  1. Here is a site that helps you find the location of Lakes. It covers mostly NorthWestern Ontario but goes as far as and includes North Bay:

    Click on FIND

    Goto "select a map category", click on down arrowhead and click on "Lakes"

    Enter a lake name

    select a MNR district (click on down arrowhead) (if district is unknown click on "all districts"

    click on Search and your lake should appear.

    The system was so slow yesterday, I could not watch Youtube videos.

    I can always tell when the children are home from school, the computer slows to a snails pace.

  3. I decided that I should add a few pictures of my homemade beans so I whipped up a batch last night.

    Beans prior to cooking. Used homemade smoked bacon in place of store bought.

    Note:

    For some reason the bean mixture was quite dry this morning but a 1/2 cup of water cured that.

    These beans do not bark back at you, if you get my drift.

     

    Enjoy
