Intrepid Cottager Sea-Doo Tour: Muskoka Lakes, Ontario, Canada
Getting There: While Ontario has many fabulous navigable waterways for Sea-Doo touring, one of my absolute favourites is cruising the Muskoka Lakes. It's a full day trip, and trailering my two-bed Triton trailer up from Toronto and back adds a total of about three hours driving time on Highways 400 and 11, but that's time well spent indeed. Alternatively, you could stay at one of Muskoka's lakeside resorts while cruising and exploring for several days at your leisure.
What It Is: Muskoka may be Ontario's most famous summer playground, its name synonymous with cottage country. Located less than two hours north of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Muskoka encompasses 1,600 lakes nestled into 2,500 square miles of territory. It's anchored by several key towns located near Highway 11 — Bracebridge, Gravenhust and Huntsville, plus several other communities such as Port Carling and Bala. During the summer, the Muskoka population swells as tens of thousands of pretty well heeled cottagers take advantage of fun in the sun on its clear and sparkling waters.
Boathouses: My first impression of Muskoka was that it must have more square footage of boathouse than most lakes have of cottage. And 'house' is the descriptive part of the word here. No mere marine garages, these. I'm talking double storey, two to eight slip structures built right on the water, most often in replica of the adjacent 'cottage' -- a misnomer if there ever was one, judging by the size and substance of these lakeside mansions. One especially tall boathouse would even accommodate a sailboat, mast up and all!
The Three Lakes: The three most renowned lakes in the area — Muskoka, Rosseau and Joseph —are also the largest, and best for Sea-Doo touring. They are interconnected, easily navigable and dotted with marinas so gas is always handy. One of the best things about Sea-Doo riding on these mostly weed-free lakes is that you can easily avoid every rock (and there aren't that many). Why? Because with cottagers owning so many expensive boats, every rock, shoal and channel is very well marked!
The Launch: Muskoka also has many public launches, so depending on where you are coming from, it's simple to find one that's close and accessible. From the GTA, I've found the best launch point is near the Muskoka Wharf complex at the Gravenhurst harbour. This launch has lots of available parking, fuel at the adjacent marina, nearby dockside restaurants (including Boston Pizza), and even a Residence Inn by Marriott on site if you choose to stay over.
Counter Clockwise: Typically, I cruise out of Muskoka Bay into Lake Muskoka proper. Once there, I turn to port and follow the inner channel of the west shore before going around Walker's Point, through Bala Bay, around Mortimer's Point and up the Indian River to the lock at Port Carling, where Turtle Jack's Restaurant is a neat spot to eat, with a dock of its own.
Easy Cruising: In all, my Muskoka touring has made indelible Sea-Doo memories. I've experienced virtually every riding condition from storm-tossed waves to surfaces of glass, from sunny skies to driving rains. Muskoka is a visual treasure trove for exploration by Sea-Doo watercraft. Remote and seemingly endless shorelines, and scenic cottages, picturesque towns and peaceful backwater lagoons make it a top-notch playground.
If it's a windy day, the backwater areas are well protected from any chop, so for the most part, you can avoid riding the wide-open parts of the lakes. Don't worry about getting lost, either. With many marinas, resorts, boaters and cottagers around, all you have to do is ask!
Eye Candy: But the real bonus for Sea-Doo touring here is ogling the eye candy, and I don't mean the human kind. The cottages of Muskoka are an astounding spectacle. Simply put, they are some of the most amazing structure I've ever seen -- to say nothing of the boathouses. They take your Sea-Doo tour to a level of man-made sightseeing unsurpassed anywhere else. Even after many return trips, I frequently slow to gape at one amazing cottage after another, each more spectacular than the next. Thumbs up! Thumbs down! I've become quite the architectural critic.
Busy Weekends: The best time to explore the Muskoka Lakes by Sea-Doo is during the week, when boat traffic is lighter. On prime summer weekends, you really have to keep a sharp eye out a full 360˚ as countless boats of all sizes criss-cross the waterways. But extra vigilance is a small price to pay for a Sea-Doo ride that will have you exclaiming to your friends: Boy oh boy, you shoulda seen these Muskoka mansions...talk about outta this world! Now add in the compelling natural beauty of Muskoka's Canadian Shield topography and you've got a fine recipe for unbeatable Sea-Doo touring.

Prison fight: Super-max jail fight sends five inmates to hospital - TomoNews
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — Five inmates were injured during a massive fight at Illinois's Cook County Jail Friday around 1:30 p.m., in the jail's super-max division.
The mayhem began when an inmate standing near the center of the room punched another in the back of the head. Another inmate was then struck, causing his head to bounce off a cement pillar. Out cold, he remained on the floor until someone pulled him away.
Nearly 30 men in the general population room were present, but some clearly didn’t want to be involved and stayed close to the walls.
Guards eventually brought the situation under control with taser guns.
Several weapons were recovered including two that appear to have been made from inhaler parts. Officials are investigating how the inmates got hold of weapons.
Cara Smith, a spokeswoman for the jail, said five inmates were taken to hospital to be treated for their injuries, including stab wounds, but none of the injuries were life-threatening.
Four of the five inmates were in jail on murder charges while the fifth person was charged with armed robbery.
