Thanks again for the report Jim. Makes me want to head back up there this spring. Great tip about the road spills. I found a 6 pound highgrade specimen along side of the road along with some smaller quality specimens. The tailings at some of the older sites also gave up some great silver. I like to search for float in the valleys and crevices and have done quite well. Just a word of caution when detecting in this area. Have a good map/gps. I spent the night in the woods once there. Not fun !!

Thanks trainermick...if you can put off heading up there until the autumn you can find me at the Loon Lake Park. Its just a quarter mile north of the Hwy 11B turnoff and on the Portage Bay Road about 200 yards along to the right. Its a convenient spot found a few years back, they keep the water and showers on until freeze-up. I head up each autumn now with the camper in tow. When the water gets turned off, we use lakewater heated up in a portable shower nailed high on a handy tree, along with a big fire. They also have a cabin for rent.

There is also another real good camping / cabins for rent place on Marsh Bay Road, but I can't think of the outfit's name just now. Right on the Montreal River, quite scenic. Cabins have heaters, clean and comfortable.

Jim.
