Sitting on that dock at this moment.
Three cottages on the island.
This area is called Thousand Islands.
There are actually 1000 islands, many, if not most have cottages on them, but there are some that are designated as crown land.

Booked some time off and looking at flights to Northern British Columbia in late September. Will take a week of vacation, and work remotely from there for the second week. We have a Grandson due to arrive Oct 2nd, judging by her current size they aren't likely to let let her go to term. Exciting time for us!

T'wss a long day of travel, 5 hours from Toronto to Vancouver, then close to 2.5 hours to Terrace BC. I have been scared when flying one other time back in the late 90's flying into Winnepeg Manitoba for a wedding. The turbulence when landing was crazy, up, down, left, right, thought we were all going to die. We obviously survived...
Flying into Terrace BC just after sunset the turbulence didn't seem too bad, but this was a Dehaveland Dash8 (small turbo prop plane). As we were getting close to touching down there was a sudden down, a bang from the wheels touching down, then the sudden force of the engines being powered up. We were going around... took a good 20 minutes to go around, a good 20 minutes to consider whether this was it or not... similar turbulence on the second approach but they got us on the ground safely.
Anyway, this is where I will be for the next couple of weeks, Kitimat BC! The dark line in the top left is the Alaska border.

We did a number of hikes when we were here last time, here in a supporting grand parent role this time! Adam did get put for a bit in the woods yesterday and harvested these Chicken of the Forest fungi! Apparently when you cook them up they taste like chicken...
We call them Chicken of the Woods! My son in law loves them. That’s one I don’t like. We do harvest combtooth, oyster, chanterelles, puffballs, and a few others (rarely if ever see morels these days) and I like all of those.

I haven't had it before, and he hasn't cooked it up yet, but I am interested to try it. If he cooks it, he cooks it, if he doesn't so be it. The new parents are a little stressed, I'm not asking any questions at the moment!
