Yes! Shayne has effectively admitted that beer cans are a NO-NO. He's confessed to the infraction. It's not like he's overtly promoting it. The photo struck me as bearing an incidental small images of a couple of cans. Things like beer cans and dogs off leash do happen, but are INFRACTIONS for good reasons and can result in FINES.

Hey Swedish! As the kids say, "Getting HOT".

Two decades ago .. at a portage put-in.

Years ago I was in through Rain Lake, over on Islet for a few days. Heavy rains had raised the water way over the access dock. When I came back, the water was down and I was told by a staffer there that while I was on Islet a beaver dam had washed out and taken the access road with it .. that no vehicles could come or go for days .. that the entire roadbed and a culvert had been swept away .. that the repairs had taken days .. that many outgoing campers had been marooned at the access point. On the drive out I could see that a massive amount of fresh material had been moved to fill the washout. Unfortunately some people don't realize the magnitude of what can happen and think that real life is like a TV advert for 4-wheelers.

I've never visited the Tim Lake area and am thinking of getting up there this summer.

The AFA Work Schedule Map for 2024 isn't out yet, so I don't have updated info on scheduled operations.

AFA policy is that tree cutting and truck hauling are allowed Monday through Friday over the summer. So, even if cutting noise is a good distance away, the truck haulage noise affects a larger area.

I'm wondering if anyone has had any "weekday" noise experience with the haulage road that runs east-west a distance north of Tim Lake?

I've "red-dotted" over the mapped haulage road. It looks to be at least a kilometer north of Tim Lake's north shore.

Thanks.

It looks like the forum service has established a limit on the number of PMs one can 'save'. The pages that now contain PMs have a 'check box' in front of each one and the comment "# of 1,000 allowed messages on file" and options to "delete" and "Move to stored". There also seems to be a "right justification" now applied to forum post input box?


 

Martin, you have it! Those little islands are quite memorable. You are up!
