I know it is a favourite place for many. The campers in early May were numerous. BUT...think it through! You can't get there from here!
Interesting as the news unfolds of more restrictions, with no recourse for those who must earn a living in the area. As with war, some benefit and others lose out! Think of contractors who only earn what they can bill, other salaried employees, or those who only get paid for services rendered, as you can read in the comments on the previous post. Politicians are getting their 15 minutes of fame, but those who live, work and play in the area will face huge transportation issues.The Friends of Algonquin Park

It will be interesting in the long run to see if all of this is even remotely worth it.I can certainly understand the businesses being worried about lost income. I don't think it will even out in the end. Restricting the road all the way to Dwight? What are they worried about, long range missles? It borders on ridiculous. As you say, the politicians will get there 15 minutes!
Quite the storm! Hope all is well. To be expected with such heat at this time of year though. We had it run through here too.
