Reserving Xmas Trees

It appears that 'Tis the season' to reserve a tree on the causeway.  Decorations much appreciated by  all.

Some ice

Winter approaching

Beavers again

It looks like a new family of beavers have moved in close to the causeway.

Monster wind storm

    At 10:30 am today (Friday) the hydro power was lost and not returned until  5:15 pm.  Over 10,000 residents were without power in the Baptiste Lake/Bancroft area.   The strong winds resulted in 7 trees having to be chainsawed to clear the road between the island and Ojibway Road, perhaps a record.

    Although there are some trees down on some cottage lanes, no visible cottage damage on residences that could be viewed.  Some heavy rain but no washouts on the road.

Final road work

Four loads of 2" minus placed on the sandy stretch of the new road and another load placed at 'chipmunk springs' last week.   It is the same material that solidified the lower end of maple hill.  One more load will be applied to the end of Guest Road which gets washed out.  With hunting season starting tomorrow, there should be plenty of traffic to pack it down.

With fingers crossed, there is a chance that an excavator will remove the 'LC orange rocks' that decorate the road before the snow comes.  It will make our 'painter' very happy.
