Wow - spectacular location smokeybear, great shots too. What a place to smoke a pipe! (though I could do with fewer snakes)

 

[plateauguy]

Absolutely beautiful! (Except for the snakes)

 

[smokeybear]

ya the pipe smoking was great nice place to relax also by the camp fire. But i also had a different kind of pipe experience at the sweet shop

Beautiful. I love those cliff faces. Makes me remember camping up in the UP as a kid. Thanks.

Ontario. Yours to Discover!
Beautiful pics! I made my first trip up to Manitoulin Island last fall, but it was after the ferry had closed for the winter so we had to take the long way. I'd love to go up there in the summer by boat.

Great pix - and brings back memories. I haven't seen those liquorice pipes since I was a kid, spending summers at Point Au Baril, on Georgian Bay. And the rattlers - I thought they would have gone years ago. We used to see them in Michigan, too, around Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, only there they called them Michigan Point Rattlers.
Thanks for posting - looks like a great weekend.

There doesn't appear to be many people going for a swim. I jumped into the St.Lawrence last weekend and almost went into cardiac arrest! It's been a slow start to the summer here.

 

[smokeybear]

Thanks everybody!

There doesn't appear to be many people going for a swim.

The temperature of the water in the beginning of July is a bit too cold for my liking if it were more into the month of Aug i would have been all up in that Georgian Bay freshness. i will most likely revisit thhis place in Aug during my camping trip at Sauble Beach there only about an hour and 45 min away from each other.

Ah the great outdoors! Looks like a fun and relaxing time was had. Thanks for sharing the pics. I don't mind the snakes as long they aren't coming after me. ::

 

[hemsworth]

Now I really want to go for a visit. This area looks spectacular.

 

[smokeybear]

I don't mind the snakes as long they aren't coming after me.

They never bother anyone i only seen them from a distance. we also had a small black bear come on our camp site snooping around like yogi bear until the site owner came by with some bear bangers(LOAD BLANKS) and scared it off.
But thats the way it is up there you want to take in nature you got to take it all

The pic of the massasauga rattler is a nice one!

I haven't seen a massasuga since I divorced golf. They were occasionally seen at a golf course near Clarkston, Mi. Usually in places I wasn't trying to put my ball. But there are plenty of the common garter snakes around.
Tobermory is a beautiful place and a great scuba destination. I enjoyed the pictures, thanks for posting.
