Here it is,the long weekend fishing opener and this nice campsite on crown land that you can drive to sits empty.Right on a chain of lakes with pike and pickerel.
I drove in the log road a couple miles from where I was doing nuisance beaver work on the hydro dam access road to see if anyone was there-nope not a soul.

In Virginia, for freshwater, we only have "openers" for trout in the mountains. Everything else is open all year long.

I believe I've heard that 90% of Canada's population lives within 50 miles of the U.S. border.
Probably so they have access to decent medicine and cheap milk and gasoline.

There is no litter in the pic. You’re drinking too much again tonight.

I noticed that after I took the pic. Just a glare in the pic or something.

It's not the cheap milk they long for it's milk that doesn't come in such a useless container as a bag. Of course, I live within 50 miles of the Canadian border so I'm not sure what that says about me. Maybe so I have easy access to bad drivers and ketchup chips?

Must be nice Boco. It is getting to be a rare treat when you can get out and not see anyone.

A couple of numbers to put things in perspective.

The US is approximately 3.8 million square mile with a population of 327 million people.

Canada is approximately 3.9 million square miles and a population of 37 million.

I live north of half of the population, if i was 25 years younger, I'd emigrate.
