    Yep, nothing but trees and water.

    what about the mosquitoes though? are they bad in the summer?
    Not really an issue in Dryden go north and the black flies start to get horrible. Oh man, I can't tell you the number of times I've been dispatched to a fire by some swamp and been chewed alive. Flies so thick it's vision altering.

    We have a similar fishing gold mine out here but you have to drive half-way between Sudbury and Timmins. About 2.5 hours away with no civilization around. Lucky for you guys... you can walk to your lakes.

    I live a block from some sweet jumping rocks. Fishing isn't great there though, gotta go a couple more for that, haha.

    There are a lot of us on these forums, Shiva Blaster. You're definitely not alone. I grew up in a (mostly) good family, had a decent childhood, I am a law student going for my JD, and I have a beautiful girlfriend who I love very much ... but I still battle MAJOR anxiety issues which, in turn, exacerbate existing issues with depression I've also dealt with for nearly 10 years now. It's not that I don't enjoy my life, or that I'm not incredibly happy about a lot of things ... it's just tough.

    Nobody is alone, and it makes my heart feel more whole to see so many good people on these forums sharing with one another. The world really can be a good place sometimes. Feeling emboldened.

    Burnsy seems like a cool guy, maybe someday we will cross pathes in Wpg. Mental health is a tough thing, it takes a lot of courage to speak about. All the best, and it looks like you have great support from your family and friends.

    I lived in Thunder bay for almost 7 years, and did a lot of forestry-related work in and around Dryden......lots of really nice wilderness around there. I particularly love the area west of Dryden towards the Manitoba border.....Sioux Narrows / Lake of the Woods area is just unreal, so beautiful. I'm now out in Alberta and miss all the beautiful lakes of Northwestern Ontario like you wouldn't believe......the few lakes out here are all over-populated, algae-ridden cesspools that people pay $300,000+ to have a tiny little camp on, it's ridiculous. In NW Ontario, you could have a 2000 sqft log cabin and a lake all to yourself at that price!

    Yeah, tack on four hours to get from here to Thunder Bay though I wouldn't go the Sudbury route instead opting to go North. Might save me some time, LOL.

    It'll save your car too as you wouldn't be driving through our roads.
