"Mike Hunter's family owns an island in Canada?!?!?" This is the most common response echoed when someone hears that Mike's family owns an island in Canada. Well, it's true -- island number 553 is in MacGregor Bay, in Lake Huron, and it is owned, lock, stock, and barrel, by the Hunter clan. Mike invited the entire CS clique up there, to spend a week un-winding after finals. Six of us accepted his call, and made the 13 hour trek up to the island. It was fun, and nobody died to boot. On the way back, we made our way through Toronto, Erie PA, and Pittsburgh. Hopefully, I'll get some more pictures to flush out those other destinations soon.

Behind the cabin, was the toolshed. This is where we found various tools, chemicals, and other miscellaneous supplies that make the island hum.
		The almighty outhouse. God praise the outhouse. Now featuring toilet paper!

A pipe organ, on Hunter Island?!?!
		See everyone? The island isn't primitive. It has a propane-powered refrigerator. Of course, the refrigerator is broken, and the last to inhabit the island left several treats inside, which made for the funkiest smell ever when we first opened that door!

This is the view from the highest point on the island, the appropriately-named Mt. Baldy. Appropriate, because this peak is simply bare rock, that has been worn smooth by the weather. Also, baldness runs in the males of the Hunter family.
		A scenic view from the island, looking out. I don't remember where I was standing when I took this picture, so I can't be any more descriptive than that.
Yet another scenic view from the island.
		An example of the plant life on Hunter Island. This is one of the few plants that didn't try to eat Chris the entire time we were there. Chris thanks you, little plant.
One of Hunter Island's many next-door neighbors. I think that these blokes had some sort of jacuzzi action. Unreal.
		One of the nicer sunsets that we had while on the island.
On top of Mt. Baldy, there is this mysterious looking rudder from an olde-timey wooden ship. I think there is some great big story behind this particular rudder, but since I can't remember it, I'm saying that it's from a pirate ship. I like pirates, they're funny.

		On Wednesday, we actually had nice weather (i.e. not rain), so we made a bonfire, and had dinner outside. This is our fire. We named it Smokey. Smokey cooked us some good hotdogs and smores. Thank you, Smokey.

Random bonfire picture of Laura, looking down. The almighty Cement Factory is visible in the background.
		Funny Fredrik, showing us his hot dog.

At one point, we decided to replenish the firewood supply. So, we found a large tree that had fallen to the ground, and attempted to chop it up into bits. Here are Chee Wai and Mike, getting the appropriate tools.
		Be afraid, tree. The big bad mdog is coming for 'ya.
Mike, looking perplexed as to the operation of the hand saw, while Chee Wai and Vinh look on.

		Okay everybody -- this here is the jumpin' rock! From l-r: Chee Wai, Laura, skfw (i.e. Chris), and Fredrik. Obviously, skfw is fool enough to think that he is about to jump in to the lake. Fool.
My camera sucks. So, instead of getting skfw in mid-air, I caught him in mid-splash. It looks like Chee Wai might have gotten a better shot.
		Cold Water == Swim Fast, skfw (and curse a lot while you're doing it)!

Fredrik shows off his magnificent beer glass, while Laura T., Willie, Chee Wai, and Mike look on. Mike felt the need to join in, so he is seen massaging a poor innocent ketchup bottle.
		The other half of the TGI Friday's meal. From l-r: Vinh, Akua, Laura S., me, and skfw (Chris). Notice how we're not holding anything... Yep, no inadequacy issues at this table.

		Akua and Chee Wai. I could make some sort of comment here, but I'm far too mature for that.
