We'll be newsing and musing about nature, old growth forests, local food, our cuisine, canoeing, hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing. Also ideas around local politics and policies. Really, just interesting stuff for those who love Temagami and want to feel like they're here.
Smoothwater of Temagami had a renovation this winter on the theme of quilts. For those of you who know me, I just couldn't live with a plain-Jane floor. So my research into tile patterns led to quilt patterns. It makes perfect sense to me, quilts are about comfy beds, and we have a lot of beds in the bunkhouses.

Fire season is here. It's a dry spring. Lake Temagami water levels are low. Last week, there were 23 new fires reported in the province. High winds and extremely dry conditions kept fire suppression resources busy. All 23 fires occurred in the western sectors of the province burning a total of 17 hectares. No further problems are anticipated with these fires. If you are planning a canoe trip, check the link. You don't want to be doused by a water bomber. Or fined. It happens! Consider bringing a stove too.
