I'm back from Ontario with promised pics. As always, click pic to embiggen slideshow, mouse over individual pics for secret message!
First group is from Algonquin Provincial Park in Northern Ontario. It's not the farthest North I've ever been, but if you drew a straight line from where I'm standing in that first pic to the North Pole you probably would not hit a single human settlement.

I went on a two week canoeing trip in Canada when I was a teen. That sign means, "A zillion mosquitoes waiting for people who can't slap them here."
