A walk on Torrance Barrens in Muskoka

We went for a long walk to Torrance Barrens in 2008. What a terrific place. It is located in The Land Between. We passed the "no daytime burning" signs on the way. The forest is so fragile and the air pollution such a terrible thing. What a glorious spot it is. You can see how interdependent the ecosystem is with the bog, water, insects, wildlife all intertwined in this one spot.
The huge, flat Precambrian Shield bears silent witness to the paw, pads and feet that made their way around the water and the bog. I feel connected to the earth on its pink, gray, white, black surface.
