Muskoka

LM Montgomery is well known as the author of many books (including Anne of Green Gables) set in Prince Edward Island. However, after she married, she lived in Ontario for the rest of her life. At one stage, she had a holiday in Bala in the Muskoka area, where she finished one of her most popular books (Emily of New Moon) and set another (Blue Castle). Her descriptions of  the area prompted me to visit it. The area has a huge number of lakes, and is as pretty as she described. It was a pity that it rained all day. It was also a pity that the museum was closed. Bala was having its annual cranberry harvest festival, so people were parked everywhere, there were produce tents everywhere, and every tent was very soggy. You grow cranberries in a marsh, so the whole area is probably always a bit boggy. So, not only was the museum closed, but the road it was on was also closed and full of tents. Everyone was having a good time anyway.

I went around the area, and I decided that Lake Muskoka (and the entire area) is superior to Lake Superior.
