That mosquito gear may have a certain influence on my taking part or not.

Most of the mosquitoes will be gone in September. I filmed this in early May and that’s when they are at their worst.

Great video and detailed explanation of the set up. How does the video camera follow you as you set up? How long did it take you to set up and take down?

I used two 360° cameras. When I edit I choose what I want the end image to be. I can also make the editing software track me.
I’m now able to set this hammock up in 15 minutes. It takes me a little longer to pack up. Most of the time is taken up by getting the air out of the air pad. I roll it and unroll it up about 5 times to get it in the smallest package possible

OK. Unfortunately, there’s a couple of days that don’t give you much options. I will identify one in particular, and give you some options. The route from Elliot Lake to Rabbit Blanket Lake ( just south of Wawa). There aren’t many services on 129. As an option you could ride from Elliot lake to St. Joseph Island. That route will give you plenty of affordable motel options, and you can meet up with us in Massey.
Now from Manitoulin Island there are a few towns to explore and taking hwy 6 North, Espanola has numerous options for food and accommodation.
If you don’t wish to take the ferry and still meet up with us, driving around via Parry Sound and Sudbury to Espanola is an option, probably cheaper too.
The Sunday and Monday being part of the Labour Day Weekend holiday may be an issue if you don’t have a reservation for accommodation.

What he says is very important. I have riden this same route from Michigan so didn't take the ferry. It's A very interesting ride and the views are awesome. That said parts are remote and some planning and a buddy is very wise in case of a issue. Also keep that tank full. Do not pass up a chance to get fuel as premium isn't always available.

It appears I may have some glitches in my GPX route files. When I plotted them out in Basecamp, I hadn’t put in sufficient way points. When you load the file, your software may divert you a bit. I will attempt to rectify the issue.

I thought it might just be the SCENIC app not conforming to the GPX file, I left my laptop at work and so can’t load it to my Nav 5 to see what it looks like on there. I thought that the loop might be to a point of interest.

Tehkummah is a neat community, I have gone through there many a time to get to the ferry when my parents lived on the island.
