The edges of the main highway and bush roads are putting on a show of Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) these days, and the blueberries are ready for picking. What more could you ask for.

great pictures again but where will i find all those blueberries?
Bill, Was up there last week and ate quite a few blueberries. Had a good visit with friends Gert & Paul, and great time fishing with Ed. Question for you, when you go into Diabase Lake, do you go in from the road or is there a path thru the weedbeds on Obushkon?
Sue, There is a trail south of Diabase that takes you right to the lake, by ATV. There is also a creek that runs to Obushkon, but there are at least 3 beaver dams to pull over. Canoes only.
My late husband & I used to canoe into the weeds and cast for Northerns. Ed had a map that showed the creek going into Diabase but we had never found that so I was curious if you could really get in from there. Thanks
First time in Gowganda was 1968 with the Dept. of Lands and Forests, doing a soil and vegetation study for the Wildlife Productivity Inventory. While here found the country amazing, the boreal forest the lakes at every turn and the air clean and fresh. It didn't take long back then to get the camera out and start recording some of the sights I'd seen. Since then with a few layoffs in photography its good to get right back at it. Putting your pictures on a blog like this forces you to go out and take more pics, which is the goal of this site.
