NEVERMORE

No more commercial fisheries in the Nipigon Bay.

No more log drives.

All we have are skeletal reminders in the forests along our River. But someone cares because they have posted the tugs builder's names.

When we talk of the river drives of the long-ago days you may think of the large rivers but getting there usually meant coming down the little streams.
