An inukshuk built by some creative guests.

A severe wind storm took out 8 trees around camp.

Luckily none of them fell on any of the houses.  This one just missed the swing.

Indian Pipes on the trail to Lake of Bays.

A nice display of Bunch Berries.

This Pitcher Plant actually eats insects by trapping them in the liquid at the base of cup-like leaves.  Look for them on the Detour trail.
