Just back from Walleye & Westies > http://www.vanalong.com/walleye.html   What a great event in such a great camp ground.  Thanks to Gerry & Lynn and all their friends and family who provided us with boat rides to the most idyllic beach I have ever been to, fine fishing with plenty of action, hot sunny weather, fireworks, huge bonfire, a touch of rain, a fish fry to die for, a camp site ON the Serpent River with electricity no less, a broken van to repair, good company from the few who attended.  You'd all better buck up and make the long drive up there next year !  It's a real campground in the northern wilds of Ontario, not to be taken lightly !  We drove home yesterday via Manitoulin Island, took the ferry over to Tobermorry.  Beautiful county, lakes, lakes, lakes and more lakes.  Camping spots galore.  If you have a longing for wilderness get your Westy up that way !  Last I heard Isabelle & Michel got their ailing '81 Westy to John's Bug Shop in Welland for service so they can continue their holidays.  I worked on it all day Sunday to get them securely to John's.  Never a dull moment at these Westy gatherings.  Now back to work on the pile of broken vans in my yard !  Gerry has photos to post on Facebook soon, stay tuned !

Cheers,
