We visit a smaller Island

Fireweed, growing on island

One of the smaller islands in the lake, my friend had told me about. She said last time they had been there, it was obvious there had been a fire on the island. So we canoed there, and went to explore the island. My first comment was that we should fire Fireweed there since it's generally one of the first flowers to grow anywhere there's been a forest fire. In fact I spotted at least one plant of fireweed.

We were able to still spot signs that there had been a fire on about half of this Island. It makes it less attractive for camping because if there is any kind of storm it leaves at the mercy of the elements. I suppose before the first it was probably a fine place for a couple to camp with a small tent. At the moment it's just good for exploring. My friend thought it might be on this island that there was a geocache - but it turned out to be on the island next to this one. 

The toilet that gives the island it's name.

An island affectionately known by those who camp around lac vert as toilet island - because it has a toilet made out of stone and is still fully functional. This island is slightly bigger and it also seems to have had suffered a fire on part of it. This one is actually better for camping and I noticed a few days later that some canoe landed there when it was almost completely dark because they had to land somewhere.
