February 2023: We have a hunt camp in Nemegos. We are the first camp on the right after you cross the bridge and before you cross the tracks. Our buildings are red with green roofs. We spend a lot of time up there from April to mid November. My husband Bill just got back from a 2 week stay. Even though it is February, he was able to drive in from the south end of the Nemegos Road off Hwy 667. The road is not always open, but this year the logging company that logged 2 years ago, has opened up the road to get their wood out. Some years the CPR plows it, but not every year.The north end of Nemegos Road that goes to Hwy 101 is not open this winter. For the record, there are 5 permanent residents in Nemegos as of this date. They are Gary & Janet Sneider, John Stevens (Janet's brother) and brothers Larry and George Koski. Levis Andelin was a permanent resident up until a few years back. He spends the winters in Chapleau and summers in Nemegos. There are many part time residents in the spring, summer and fall months such as ourselves Bill & Jan Hilliard. We hail from North Bay area. Other camp owners are from Chapleau, Sault Ste. Marie, ON., Ottawa, ON, several from Michigan USA, New York USA. Everyone is off-grid. Most folks use a combination of generators & solar power. The CPR operates the Budd Car from Sudbury to White River on a regular schedule. Nemegos is a flagstop. It drops us right at our door. How cool is that! Drop in anytime. We'd be glad to see you!

We have a camp in Nemegos. I have looked at the Canadian Census and Ontario Voters Lists from all available years. Most times Nemegos and Tophet are on the same page. I always wondered what was left of the community of Tophet. Thanks for posting the information & pictures.
