Please save me from my desire to take a vacation in remote parts of Northern Ontario.

And I mean north.

I have this weird desire to go there. I blame my Canadian Studies class and the lesson on the mythology of the north.

I have actually concocted a plan to go to Cochrane and Moosonee for about a week this spring. All I need is a friend to go along with my plan. And money. :rofl:

1. I'll go with you...

...are there trees there?

2. Thanks for the earworm.

"There is a town in north Ontario..."

Now I'm remembering a series that aired years ago on PBS down here, "Canada: True North". Someone, asked (yet again :eyes: ) what distinguished Canadians from Americans, mentioned the north and that very mythology.

4. Well if you're up there, could you dig up my old friend...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Franklin">Sir John Franklin.

His personality is sometimes thought to be a little cold, even icy, but he may be thawing a little.

Give him my regards and if you remember to bring it, some canned fish.

5. what IS the mythology of the north?

Do tell.

6. I think that sounds like a good time

FWIW, I already have a birder's guide to Churchill. :D
