Some excellent photos. Thanks for posting!

Enjoyed the pics, Barry, thanks!  
My one and only trip to Shirley was when I took my (then) fiance (now wife) on her first canoe trip....in June (should have known better) 2000 for a long weekend.

On our last morning, when we woke up, I heard chainsaws in the distance.  Then I realized those chainsaws were mosquitoes outside the tent.  I don't think I've ever cleared a campsite so fast.  We were prepared for bugs, but not at the armargeddon level.  we paddled clear of them, but upon arriving at the portage....the most mosquitoes I had ever, or have ever encountered.  It was out of control.  We unloaded the canoe while getting absolutely chowed. I put a pack on her back and said "GO!"  I was stuck though, had to tie something to the other backpack.  15-20 mosquitoes were between the cuff of my shirt and the tips of my fingers, I smeared the ones off the left into a pulp, then the ones on the right, and there was already a new batch on the left.  I had to let them have their way with me while I got loaded up, and scrambled out of there.  After that, we hardly encountered any mosquitoes at all.  Strangest thing.
