Derek's Thunder Bay Region Pictures

These are all the pictures I have taken in the Thunder Bay area. Including minor trips, like Duluth, Lutsen or whatever. Basically, if they are in within an hour or two of Thunder Bay, I put them here. I've broken them up with the dashed lines to show the different cameras I used along the way. My newest Camera, a Canon Digital Rebel SLR takes a nice pic, and have been majorly reduced to put up on the web, if you would like a higher rest of anything you see, let me know.

Finlay Bay and Middlebrun Bay - A trail out at Sleeping Giant Provincial Park

Cascades 2006 - A local watering hole that much of the locals go to take a swim, and many youth like to drink late at night, unfortunate because I don't think they know how to clean up bottles and just break them instead.
