Phillip Edward Island is a large island on the coast of Georgian Bay just east of Killarney. Arend de Boer and Tom Bruin organized a group of seven GLSKA members for a five day trip to Phillip Edward Island out of Chikanishing Creek, the access point for the islands out of Killarney Provincial Park. The plan was to set up a base camp and explore Islands, including the Foxes, in Georgian Bay. The group gathered in Killarney on Sunday, August 22 at the Roche Rouge Campground, set up camp for the night and set off for fresh fish and chips at Herbert Fisheries, a feature of any trip to Killarney. The next morning we packed up gear and headed for our starting point, after a detour for breakfast in Killarney. A young black bear scrambled across the road on the way into town emphasizing our anticipated adventure.
