#OTD (Fri, Oct 2) 1908 travelling from #LakeCauchon, #AlgonquinPark: "After lunch, packed up & started for Cedar Lake with a fair wind & rough water. Was wind-bound on Cedar Lake for 2 hours. Arrived at Cedar Lake s. house at dark & enjoyed our tea very much." @nichecanada.bsky.social

#OTD (Mon, Sep 28) 1908 at #LakeCauchon, #AlgonquinPark: "Mr. Balfour and I in camp. Very wet and chilly and owing to heavy wind and rain could keep very little fire. Could those who admire a ranger’s life have seen us and shared our pleasure. I won’t say the rest." @nichecanada.bsky.social

#OTD (Sat, Sep 26) 1908 at #LakeCauchon, #AlgonquinPark: "All working at s. house. Fire across lake very bad, raging all night. Much valuable timber has been destroyed; many miles of valuable timber lands being left without a single tree living upon it." @nichecanada.bsky.social

#OTD (Thu, Sep 24) 1908 at #LakeCauchon, #AlgonquinPark: "Working hard at s. house. We cooked on fire built [on] a rock. Our fare consists of bread, butter, cheese, jam, tea, cream, sausage, baked beans, syrup, meat, potatoes, onions. Not bad for being in a wilderness." @nichecanada.bsky.social
