"We left shortly afterward for the drive back to Kirkland Lake.  About eighteen miles north of Kirkland Lake you go "over the top: of the height of land.  From here all waters flow to the north.  There is a huge sign which says "The Arctic Watershed from here all streams flow north to the Arctic Ocean."  It give you a queer feeling to see the water flowing south, cross a bridge and there you see it has changed its course and flows in the other direction.  And man can say there is no God?

This section of Ontario is known as the bush country.  Bill had told us that moose or bear could be five feet back in the bush without being seen.  We thought he was telling us a little exaggerated story, but after seeing for ourselves how very dense the trees and how close to the ground they grew, we doubted him no more.  He was advised when he first moved there, to keep the trees around place trimmed and the underbrush cleared from the yard and woods in front of the house or moose and bears would come right to the front door.  Faith said all she needed was to open the front door and be greeted by one or the other.  Can you imagine what would happen?  Well, I'd be making tracks of a different kind."

Sore hands today, typing done.  Maybe tomorrow.
