you do go -- there are some igloos and tents still available. this page you can see a picture of the hydro-electric generating=20 station adjacent to the local business district. During the Great August =

Blackout, it had the only electric bulb (powered by 120VAC) operating=20 for many miles around.

arrived early Friday looking for a quiet dinner and a relaxing=20 evening in the hot tub.... However things did not work out that way.

We managed to get an ice cream cone at one of the local emporiums before =

the inevitable melt-down. ..And for supper we cooked on the Coleman=20 stove -- which I had insisted we bring so we could have a picnic on the=20 trip. We were one of the few hotel guests that had bacon and eggs the=20 next morning -- we set up at the river park and cooked our own breakfast.=

The wood show did go on -- on generator power -- till they got the local =

power restored the next morning.

Now -- if all of you guys will ease back on your power consumption this=20 weekend -- perhaps I can enjoy the show and some local sight seeing=20 without the blackout.

See you there.

Since I dropped my cash at Finnfest last weekend, I'll have miss this one.

Thanks for the invite, though.

Ahhh.... Another doubter. I will have you know that we Kanuckistanis=20 take this issue very seriously.

Bracebridge of course...

There is a portal to the North Pole in Bracebridge -- however, only the=20 pure of heart and mind (and loyal Canadians) are allowed to enter.=20 Children are exempt from any testing of course...

"How can the far north and the south exist simultaneously" you ask? Well =

another example of Canada being in the forefront of transportation=20 technology -- just like the Avro Arrow...

Be Cool!

Hope it is a larger show than the one I visited in Bracebridge a few years ago, I think I went through it in less than 10 minutes.
