Having a picnic on the way to Mississagi Park


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...
