Today we headed out to see an old mine site
and then on a run up north to have a picnic...
All of this land we're walking on used to be a
mine site.
The above picture is what it used to look like in 1985.
Thanks to John Muir for this picture
Pretty much everything you have seen in these
pictures was once a very productive mine. Virtually all traces of it have
been removed and as you can see winderness is reclaiming its own
Just about all the evidence that is left
We're now off up North aways to have our
picnic
And here is the picnic :-)
And here is Linda and John
And if you look closely evidence of shooting!
And we turn here to go into the Mississagi
Park
And we drive through into the Park
You can note bits where you can pitch your
tents or RV with tables and BBQ facilities and then we arrive at the
beach!
And we arrive at the Park Store
And the rate card for the park
And now we are heading back to base
And what's down here? Ah! A gravel
pit! :-)
And so we dropped into the Beer Store to get a
bottle or two to refresh ourselves in the evening
I also managed to get a few
brochures at the park store which I thought might be of interest...
