      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...
