I have a backup permit for Magnetic Lake mid September as our original out of Mudro Lake has been impacted by fires. Looking at Watch Duty, Canadian fires aren’t shown. But Google Maps clearly shows a closer fire to Saganaga Lake to the west. Knowing these things can change quickly, is there a better site to monitor both USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦 ? Really seems dumb Watch Duty doesn’t cover Canada - especially for BWCA.

Edit: Reddit is not allowing me to post with screenshots of the fires and this text at same time for some reason. Yet another gripe of software limitations.

Little Knife is USA fire to west of Magnetic Lake
Fort Frances 13 is Canada fire west of Saganaga Lake

Yea, I bought a couple SmartBricks sets. Figured I should post my gripes for others to know.

Charging for usage: take about 2 hrs for 45 mins of play

What happens when they aren’t charging even when you think they are ‘off’?

They die. Had on charger yesterday. I unplugged the charger after they were done thinking my kid would play with them. We got busy and didn’t. I pick them up this morning, they are dead. Fully charged yesterday sitting here not touching for 20 hrs and they are dead.

Proximity to sensors and sound: sometimes they don’t work. Sometimes make different sounds than you expect.

I’ll probably have more gripes, but my kid loves them when they are working. 🤷‍♂️
