Give a woman a fish and she eats for a day. Give her two and she's totally at a loss as to what to do with them. Karen and Phil ponder what to do with the two cod given to them by a friendly fisherman in Francois.

Craig, the generous, friendly fisherman, was also kind enough to give a filleting demonstration.

This small lake is the local swimming hole. It was a little too chilly the day we were there.

Francois was preparing for its homecoming celebration called, "Francois Days." This ocurrs during the third week of August every year.

Although a very tiny town, the citizens of Francois do a great job of maintaining the hiking trails above town. Here Ken trudges up a very long ramp.
