Quick Update

Hey Everyone - Happy Canada Day & an early Happy Independence Day for all our American friends.

Well, June's over...seemed to go quick....I just wanted to let you know of a couple of things...

The weather has been very crappy the last 5 days or so - incessant winds, temperatures that peaked in the 50's (farenheit), and rain, rain & more rain. I felt bad for canoeists heading out in these condidtions......

Anyway, looks like the weather's going to improve in the next day or so....the bush I've been in is wet, but had seemed to recover from the spring run off before this batch of precipitation happened. In other words, it's handling this rain just fine.

Waters high, but not as high as I thought it would be.

Ticks are pretty bad...actually they seem worse in the last few days, but still not as bad as the last couple of years

The blackflies have been terrible...should be on the decline soon (hopefully!).

Mosquitoes have started......with all this rain, look for some nasty skeeter conditions....pack your repellant!

Anyway, we have two groups coming in today - one old & 1 new .....the interesting thing about both these groups is that they're heading to non traditional areas for us (ie they're not heading to Atikokan / Quetico / White Otter)...We're really looking forward to this & will give more details once they get back.

Things are getting busier....early August is really busy (as it always is).....running out of kevlars that week - still have aluminum. Check in with us though even if you need a kevlar....there may be cancelletions, and it's only a few days at this point that we're maxxed.

Just a quick FYI - we have posted a 10% discount on canoe rentals (& cabins & fishing packages), for September. September can be a terrific month to canoe / fish etc. The "regulars" that come then love it. We're usually slower after early September, so we thought we'd try this promotion to help "kick start" some interest in fall trips. Kinda our own "stimulus package"!

Anyway - gotta go....talk to y'all soon!
