Everybody except for Mark due to self-dumping

So for 7 years running, 6 of us have been getting together annually to do something outside.  Sometimes it involves things inside, other times it’s not all of us together, and other times yet it doesn’t happen at all!  But the effort is made every year – and it’s awesome – no matter what we do.

We started this in 2005 with a trip to Killarney that I organized (on Ian’s suggestion that we should get everyone together every year).  Since then, we’ve each taken a turn organizing something, and this year it landed back with me at the beginning of the second cycle.

This year we did 4 days on Georgian Bay around Franklin and the Mink Islands (outside of Parry Sound).  Great weather, and lots of fun all around.  The following is the less than complete record of what went on.
