The last couple of years I've fished up north on Edmund Lake. It's a fly in and we stay on an island occupied by a fishing lodge that went bankrupt several years ago. It's strange to walk around the lodge because it's as if they just walked away from the place in the middle of the day...up and left. Everything was just abandoned. Boats, motors, truck trailers, a generator the size of a bus, a semi trailer size walk in freezer....hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment...12 cottages! The amount of money and amount of work required to build a place so isolated, reachable by winter road or float plane only, is staggering. And to just have to walk away?! I walked around soaking in the atmosphere takin' some photos, and could just imagine the married couple who owned the place, facing their failed dream business as they probably stepped aboard a float plane and saw the place for the last time.....
