Entire southern half of Quetico closed to camping due to fires. It is scary dry up here and no relief in sight.

Wish I could send you a few of our daily downpours.  Three inches worth yesterday was par for the course around here lately.  Constant jungle-like humidity.  Of course, what we're experiencing down here in Florida is close enough to the norm for the season.  The situation you have up there is, well, kind of nuts.  Hey, when it reaches 121.3 degrees in British Columbia, Mother Nature has gone remarkably astray.

I'm hoping there's something left of Quetico to head back to in 2022.  By all accounts, it's pretty ugly up there right now.  Hang in there, Solus... and keep your fire extinguisher handy.

Jimbo   Cool

This is hopeful but Trudeau said something 180 degrees different a day or so earlier. He had been talking "months away."

May not matter much, either way, considering how much of the park is smoldering.  Hmmmm... maybe wood smoke will be proven to inhibit the spread of the Delta variant.

The Devil will be in the details of any reopening, of course. 

Thanks for sharing, Bill!

Jimbo  Cool

On the bright side ... it's good timing for a partial closure on the south side since we can't get there from here anyway.

"Even if they think they will be exempt, all fully vaccinated travelers will still need to have a quarantine plan in case a border official finds they do not meet the necessary requirements."

  The Devil will be in the details?
