Vermilion Bay Kin Karnival…..

This weekend is a winter carnival put on by local service clubs such as the Kinsmen and Lions clubs. We entered the snowmobile poker derby (see map) which had 5 checkpoints where you picked a card to complete a poker hand. Best hands win prizes, which I have had no experience with. Again this year Susanne and I had garbage hands. The ride was nice. If you can read the map the trail headed south through Canoe Narrows and along the Back Channel to Detour Point.

Here is the 1st checkpoint at the Detour Point access road.

Off the access road and onto Bottle Bay Lake…………Perchmaster’s secret perch hole!


Another checkpoint and more lousy cards.

Here we are in the village of Waldhof and some derailed grain cars which are still laying about after several weeks since the derailment. I think the deer will appreciate the spillage.
Day 2 of the carnival on Sunday features a fishing derby just off the government dock. I will report back on this tomorrow……..hopefully my fishing luck is better than my poker hand!
