The main road would have taken you to Little Current,then to Espanola,which is back on the mainland. Lovely country up there. As long as your not surveying the swamps. Then its not so good.vbg Side note to Freds N/E. I'v worked from +- 15 deg to 59 degrees. I liked Churchill better.lol Dave

Fred Widall mused: Actually Frank and myself live at (approx) 43.5 N, 80.5 W so we're actually closer to the Equator than the North Pole. A couple of hours drive north of here on the way to a place called Tobermory, Is that anywhere near Barrington?
Re: Random PUG Thoughts
Yes, you may be closer to the Equator than to the Pole, at 43.5° N you're a bit closer to the Arctic Circle 66.5° N than to the Equator.

It helps to live near the Arctic circle. frank theriault wrote: Geez, I remember the good old days, when within hours or less of PUG coming out, there'd be comments all over the place. Actually, it was minutes - maybe even seconds after PUG came out! Okay, okay, a bit of hyperbole to make a point... But, other than a few wel-deserved kudos to the lovely Adelheid, nary a comment to be seen, after several hours of being PUGged. My, how times change! g Well, I'm not going to make a comment on any individual photos, but I would like to point out an interesting observation (interesting to me, anyway): A quick scan of thumbs shows that three Canadians submitted this month, Fred W., Martin M. and me. We all featured winter snow in our photos. There were two other photos with a bit of snow in them, but one was spring, the other autumn. So, 100% of Canadians posted snow pix, and 100% of winter snow pix from Canadians. More than a co-incidence? that's all, frank -- I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war.
