Lovely looking place, Frank. Well, except the latrine part. (I love indoor plumbing.) How many years do you get out of a latrine before you need to relocate it?
I am glad to share it Tod. And if any members who care to visit, they woud be very welcome. An interesting way to travel would be by train on the Algoma Central railway from Sault Ste Marie to Hearst. I would be happy to help anyone interested with travel arrangements and accomodation at Pellow's Camp. Anyone for the first week of October?frank, thanks for sharin` your most special of places! i hope your grandson cares for it as you have to be passed to his grandson...the only thing more precious than land is family, and family land is priceless.
Our latrine is just about the nicest that I have ever seen. You might change your mind were you to visit Art.Lovely looking place, Frank. Well, except the latrine part. (I love indoor plumbing.) How many years do you get out of a latrine before you need to relocate it?
Hey Greg, I admit that sometimes I am not as safe as I could be on ladders. But, even though I have fallen off them a few times, I have never hurt myself.but Frank has already noted his very dangerous use of the wood for leg support.

The front does look really great, Frank... Hard work on your part, with help from the Festools, has really paid off.

The current "home of Billy Bass" has been in service for 21 years. I am not retiring it, but, rather augmenting it. I find that after about four weeks with an average of four people, a latrine becomes less pleasant to visit. So, once the second latrine has been built, the plan is to open one of them for 3 weeks, switch to the other for 3 weeks, then switch back.
I admit that it slipped and that I fell. But, I landed on my feet and did not even drop the sander that I was holding.
Thanks Ian, that is great praise indeed. We have had several visitors from England over the years, and they are among the most enthusiastic.Frank - Of all the places in the world that I have never been to, Pellows Camp has to be one of my favourites
Living in an overcrowded corner of an overcrowded island and not really being an overcrowding sort of guy, the idea of a season spent without electricity or crowds is very alluring. One day maybe......
Thanks for sharing.
Somehow, it did. It was scratched but not broken.did the glass survive?

It can be. It can also be quite nice. I was there in early October last year and the daytime highs were in the 10 to 15 Celcius range and the lows around the freezing mark. I would be happy with that weather again this year.Hmmm, sounds like fun. But I bet it is a bit chilly in October!
You might think so, but my brother, who lives in London ,tells me that the route via highways 401, 400, and 11 is shorter.Since I'm in London, I wonder if it would actually be quicker for me to pop over the border into MI and drive north through Mackinac... rather than via Toronto and North.

After writing the above, I decided to check using Microsoft Streets and Trips and it tells me that the route I described above is 1083 kilometres, whereas the route via Michigan, Wawa, and Hornpayne is 1219 kilometres. That's 136 further and it avoids two border crossings.
Well said Tod! I can tell you that most people who marry in to the Pellow family love the island as well.frank, thanks for sharin` your most special of places! i hope your grandson cares for it as you have to be passed to his grandson...the only thing more precious than land is family, and family land is priceless.
