Hi, thought it should be time to add in a catch up post. Kim and Samantha have not been at Jackfish much this year due to living in Newmarket, but I (Darrell) with travelling back in forth between Thunder Bay and Southern Ontario did get to spend some quality time at camp on the lake. Here's a bit of a synopsis over the next few blog posts.
Jackfish was incredibly beautiful on the days I visited in fall. One night, without pictures, I drove in during a blustery gale, under the full moon. The lake was roaring, and the whitecaps glowing under the light of the moon. Most importantly the beach was gone! It was replaced by water rolling up into the grass. I had to scoot along to get to the cabin. By the next morning the lake calmed down completely leaving time for the following photos.
Storms like this, throughout the fall, picked up a large number of trees, and parts of the old fuel dock and placed them on our end of the sand beach. As a result, this summer we have lots of good dry firewood, and benches to make a great beach firepit. Next blog will contain pics from this spring.
