Home Movie Our Canadian Fishing Trip

One more excellently produced amateur home movie (soundtrack added) by furniture magnate Thomas Peabody, covering a trip he took with family and friends to the Canadian Wilderness around Lake Superior, reeling in some good trout and having quite a time out in Nature. Covers their departure from Michigan, up through Canada, and back again.

Regarding the large watermark, I was first trying out changing it and had it too large here. I've since decreased it in future uploads.
