Have a great time! I don't know where Killbear is, but, if you want to see the Calypso orchids, it's the right time of year for them to be in bloom. We took a boat from Tobermory to Flower Pot Island, and they were near the landing along the trail. The Ram's head ladyslipper, which grows mostly north of the Bruce in the Great Northern Territories, will be blooming also in various northern parts of the Bruce right now. In a number of years of orchid and flower-hunting, I've seen the Calypso only there and at the northern tip of Newfoundland (it does grow in the Canadian rockies, too), and I've never seen the Ram's-head anywhere else. It sounds like you enjoy photography- we just love photographing these wonderful orchids. I bet you would, too!
