   That would seem to indicate a smaller range, at least normally...    
   perhaps they banded together for safety....?   
      
    NB>> Does human activity around your area decrease after Labour Day...?   
      
    MK> Yes.  Even moreso after Canadian Thanksgiving (second Monday in   
    MK> October).   
      
   Yes, I know... what we call Columbus Day is your Thanksgiving... it   
   can be end of season for some of the campers up at our Boyd Pond, too...   
   they plan on closing camp that weekend... :)   
      
    MK> After that it is just what we in the neighbourhood call   
    MK> regulars.  I have been a regular for about 17-ish years now.    
      
   Do the others accept you as a regular now...?  ;)

   ... We must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie.
