 Thanks Bobbi, for that crowd pleaser, and just in time with holiday parties already in progress.  Before we go, just want to share a bit about Kakabeka Falls

 

Beautiful, Kakabeka Falls, ON.

Kakabeka Falls is a small village situated 30 KM West of  Thunder Bay, ON. with about 5800 residents.  The falls themselves are part of the Kaministiquia River ( Ojibwa : River with islands) . which stretches from it's mouth at Dog Lake 44 KM to the North to where it empties into Lake Superior at Thunder Bay.  Talk about a "Dog-leg river".

Kakabeka Falls is the 4th deepest in Ontario with an impressive 130FT drop.  The gorge and escarpment of the falls are comprised of loose shale that contains sensitive plant life and fossils from the last known ice-age; travelling to the bottom of the gorge is strictly prohibited. But man what breathe taking photo opts.

Fish IQ:Every year, vulnerable Lake Sturgeon travel up the Kaministiquia River to spawn at the bottom of the falls.  Other fun fishy facts, you can fish for and catch a wide range of species like #Walleye, #Bass, #Pike & #Perch! #fish_on in   Kakabeka Falls!!  With 3 Bait shops to choose from, we're sure you'll get the straight goods on where to fish, and for what.   

 

#Tightlines til next time!

 

 

When I woke up this morning and I saw there was snow on the ground I had a powerful urge to crawl back into bed, but my stomach wouldn't let me.

Snow already, but I'm not!

I looked around my kitchen for inspiration, and there on the counter was my sons Pie-Pumpkin he got at a local farm during a recent school trip.  Pumpkin Pie, that always gives me that warm fuzzy feeling on a day like today.
