Ten Miles by Boat - #NorOnt09

I kinda wanted to share where we’re going camping, but at the same time, I also wanted to keep it secret… so I grabbed the Google Satellite imagery from the area just to give an idea of the terrain.

I will say, though, that it’s deep in Northern Ontario, a little north of halfway between Sudbury and Timmins, but quite aways off the main highway… and the secondary highway for that matter. We take a dirt logging road, part of which can be seen at the bottom left of the image above.

And then we take to the water!!  The path marked in blue traces the rivers we take to get to the tiny little lake that contains the tiny little island where we usually camp.  The blue path is 10 miles exactly (according to Google), or 16 km to those of us more familiar with metric.  And the whole way is absolutely stunningly beautiful…

I’m SO looking forward to it, I’m probably going to be tweeting a lot about it in the coming week!  Be warned! :P

P.S. If this image isn’t working, it’s because screencast.com is down for maintenance for part of May 30th. I just didn’t feel like looking for another place to upload images.  Check back later, please!  It’s too pretty not to!
