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.

You don't see that in Idaho. Or in the U.P. Wished I'd taken a picture of the parking lots this week end(Walleye opener).Packed.

Yep, it's lonely country up there alright.

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.

Not a soul out here either Boco. The life! Then how come there is some litter in your picture Jurassic....or do you have to leave a trail to find your way out. 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.
