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 !
