I presume that this is the same Silver I'm thinking of.

Yeah, it's the one in the area we're both familiar with.

We're usually
destined to remote points east down Skanee Road but I always slow the car
as
we cross the Silver. Looks like mighty nice water.

Oddly, it looks better downstream than up. Well, not so odd for this
region......a number of others share this trait.

As I recall, where the Skanee Road crosses the Silver, it's pretty close to
Huron Bay, no?

Is the "looks better" due to the ubiquitous falls, do you think?

We need to talk more about
what's down Skanee Road.

Well, among other things that haunt me, there are brook trout down the
Skanee Road, I'd wager on that. And something that looks like this,
probably hasn't changed in the last sixty years:

The late afternoon was better. On the way into L'Anse to get a bite to
eat

Tell me you ate at the Hilltop. Those cinnamon rolls, man oh man. And
pickled herring on the buffet...

We did indeed eat at the Hilltop......and I did have the pickled herring.

Lucky bastid! My grandmother used to have a Swedish saying about "sill och
potatis", but I can't remember it. Maybe Roger can help out?

However, none of us sampled the cinnamon rolls.....we were all too full from
lunch. And, anyway, those things are scary. You could beat large
carnivorous bitey things to death with one of those.

I only bought one once and we split it four ways. Seriously.
