We spent a week up in Quetico. It wasn't until the 5th day that we finally saw another human being. A pair of kayakers wandered into our bay. They glided up the far shore then turned around and disappeared.

Doc's dalmatian Spot has been a fixture up at Strawberry Lake as long as I've been going up there. He was deaf. I would joke that it was because he sat too close to the fire engine siren. Doc did a great job of training him to respond to hand signals.
