I have started posting satellite images. They have links off the main Temagami and News Brief pages.

I have been receiving the usual spring emails from Temagami newbies who want to know if all the ice is gone.

I spoke with Jason in the North Arm last night. He said there is still about a foot of ice around Keewaydin. With little wind and temperatures below freezing at night, it is still possible to travel on the ice.

Brian I sent you some photos of Willow Island, Sucker Gut and LER yesterday. Things looking very solid still. The ice free lakes are all south of the French River.

Trying to hit the cottage on May 11. Hope I'm not breaking ice on the way in.

Ice-out was May 6 -- same day as last year. We use Lake Temagami as the benchmark, but northern Temagami is always a day or 2 behind. That particularly means the park. Happy paddling.

So dergon_darkhelm, couldn't be better.
