Halls Lake is a deep glacial lake in the Haliburton
Highlands, about 150 miles north of Toronto.
It was Betsy's “summer place” growing up and holds lots of good memories,
swimming, water skiing, hiking, and just goofing off. We have returned and Paul said I either feel
like or act like I’m fifteen again!
Our
former cottage is still there and the new owners welcomed us like family. We shared stories, and saw the additions and
improvements they have made in the last thirty years, and talked of
quilts! We visited with neighbors and
reminisced about the old days with photos to back up our stories!
An early frost, (0 Celsius makes it sound even colder), and
the leaves began to change color!
Wow! It was beautiful! Every turn was a Kodak moment, red and yellow
leaves among evergreens and birch trees.
Haliburton was a logging center in the late 1800s and early
1900s. Logs were felled then transported by water to mill sites. Dams were used to increase water flow in the
spring to chute the rapids. A log chute
has been recreated on Kennississ River that demonstrates the process.
Our trip was definitely a walk down memory lane, what good
memories they are! We hiked, canoed and
found most of the movie theaters within 20 miles have shut down. We made new memories and had a great time! Thank
you Paul.
