Would Lightning ever strike Twice again

Seeing as Netpred is so down on Ottawa, and properties in Near Eastern Ontario cost a fortune maybe it is time to look elsewhere.  How about Collingwood.   (they don't even charge for the bid forms)

Roll No. 43 31 040 002 27800 0000; PIN 58256-0120(R ) Group of
Rocks on Matilda Bank in Georgian Bay as described in Instrument No.
RO206926, Town of Collingwood, Registry Division of the County of
Simcoe. File 10-11
Minimum Bid: $6,602.52

Gee I wonder if the site was ever properly surveyed.  Rather famous court case happened not that far away.

Jean Strain was the registered owner of Islands 99C and 99D. Island 99D has a
cottage built on it and Island 99B is described as an unimproved "Rock Island".
Based upon the understanding of the prior owner of Island 99B, Jean Strain
understood that Island 99B was Island 99D and vice versa. When the appellants
purchased Island 99B, they too understood it to be the improved island occupied
by their predecessors in title since 1954, rather than Rock Island. As such, the
appellants began to occupy Island 99D during the summer of 1987 and made
further improvements to the cottage on that property. Moreover, the municipal tax
office taxed the appellants as if they were the owners of the improved island, rather
than the owners of Rock Island. The assessment rolls and the taxes paid indicated
that Island 99D was vacant land while Island 99B was described as residential.

I wonder if history would ever repeat itself.

PS. Just to to show that amateurs can be  better then professionals here is a map which the professionals at Tri-Target are unable to supply.

Short answer - not likely. But who knows, especially if you see  poking around.

You will never see this guy  in action, he is too smart smooth as silk.

More likely someone who owns a boat or some else who hangs out in a harbour town just west of there.

I'm actually thinking that Ottawa might be an interesting change of venue.  Maybe I will change my hunting grounds and head east, as you suggest, or perhaps north to Moonbeam.

If you are doing a site visit and want a break enroute let me know when you are in the area.  Right now I am out of tax sale hunting for the fall while I sort out other challenges (see next post) and opportunities.
In the interim going to stuff myself full of turkey outside for a change because of the nice weather.

Certainly beautiful time to visit our nation's capital if this weather holds.
