Are those from a recent trip? Since the islands are all in Ontario, how are the border crossings now from the US side?

Looks like a wonderful place to paddle and camp.

Beautiful place, got back Saturday. I’ll write a trip report soon. The wait at the Soo for construction was longer than the wait for customs. I did all the ArriveCan stuff and the customs agent didn’t even ask for it.

Good to know. I am hoping to get up to Ontario in September to visit a paddling buddy in Kingston along the Ste. Lawrence.

That’s because Klemtu is so picturesque.

Weeki Wachee - one of my favorite spots. So peaceful if you can time it so that there are no crowds.

Weekend watching…approach from mud river… In December. Crowds a lot less.

This was Friday afternoon - once you get past the cutoff for the rental returns it’s pretty empty. But yes, Nov/Dec is great, especially if the weather is cool.

Does this photo make my nose look big?
Also not sure why you need a red hairdryer for the trip: :rofl:

Nice pics, thanks for sharing!

In Pittsburgh you can paddle past a submarine: the retired USS Requin, parked at the Carnegie Science Center on the Ohio River. The day of this shot there had just been a mayfly hatch and the sub’s hull was covered with thousands of them.

Photos today at Deer Island off Biloxi MS:

Brown pelican convention and bath - some were splashing in the shallows. There were so many, I could have filled 3 or 4 more frames of the pelicans thick on the east end beach.

A fly by

My favorite ride

Almost missed the skimmers fly by

Sadly, the Least terns were flying by with a small fish in their beak and they kept veering outside photo range…wasn’t quick enough to get a photo of the only one that flew close.
