Ok, I shouldn't have started the Oliphaunt distraction...Jimbo just left it so wide open...  ::) ::)

Bullfrog, MadMatt - thanks for the replies that actually said something about Algonquin!  That's good info.  

Incidentally, we ran into a couple of guys at the Bisk-Beg portage a few years ago & got into a conversation about Algonquin - their comment was "they've cleaned up this park a lot faster than Algonquin" and proceeded to describe (if memory serves) people boating & skiing on Pickerel every summer weekend in the '70s.  I didn't know any history of the Q at that time & this really suprised me...it's good to see how it can recover!
