A few months ago, a guest of Ignace Airways from the 60’s sent us a copy of a brochure of Metionga Lake dated 1968.
Check out the rates. $99.00 for 5 days. Notice the weight restrictions even then. We allow 100 lbs now and have considerably more in our cabins.
What did other things cost in 1968?

Year End Dow Jones Industrial Average 943Average Cost of new house $14,950.00

Average Monthly Rent $130.00
Gas per Gallon 34 cents

All things considered the rates are better today! What a great deal! And the fishing is even better with our catch and consume policies. As the brochure says, “NO BETTER FISHING ANYWHERE”
