excellent illustrated story, elp~ looks like you'll have quite an extension to your sailing territory. interesting that the buildings were just left in place when it was flooded. were many buildings flooded over? just curious as, when the St. Lawrence Seaway went in up here (back in the 1940-50s), they did the same thing -- just flooded over everything, although many people moved their houses to higher ground. my mom's family had to abandon their place as it was a 200 year old stone house, so it got covered over. some of the more historic places were moved to one site and a "pioneer village" was established as a living museum. the flooding also created many islands and the old highways along the shore are cut up in many places. anyhow, interesting story and photos from the memorial day weekend. looks like it was much fun too. ours was another weekend of hiking... chalked up quite a few more miles on my beat-up old pair of canvas running shoes.

I think that was the best photo essay of any of yer trips. It must have been so exciting to be able to explore places like that. Has it still been raining up north? Loved the pics! -Clapping

polvito - <i can't wait to get back up for more exploring before the water level starts coming back down. there is at least 10-15 miles of navigable water up there now with most of it in very remote and beautiful backcountry.> So, I'm at the client site with absolutely nothing to do (cancelled meeting). And your guided tour pops on the screen! That was simply fantastic - thanks for taking the time to put it all together...I thoroughly enjoyed it! Is this the highest the water has been in recent history? How much draft does your boat have? Damn, that looked like so much fun. Thanks again....that was amazing.
