Muskoka Trip cemetery




In all my photo-stories of our Toronto/Muskoka trip I forgot to tell you about my folks! The plot in the cemetery looks good.

Joan Jilks 1925 - 2006
 Ray Jilks 1925 - 2007


A stone has been placed on the plot beside them (Pratt). There are lots of names, and birth dates, but no death dates. I presume they are being prepared, planning ahead.


It's a lovely cemetery. Lots of interesting stones and placements.

Evelyn Pearl Shand 1938 - 2010
Alexander James Shand 1931 - 2015
Norman Elder 1939- 2003
(His is quite the life story on Wiki!)


Off we went on our tour.

Bancroft, Highway 28 => Sand Lake Adventure

The ongoing saga of our Toronto/Muskoka trip!
There is a fire ban all across Central and Southern Ontario. We spotted many signs as we traveled. Lots of lovely lakes, hills, and forests. We bought lunch in Bancroft, and took it with us until we found a spot to eat. Miller's Lake, although the signage said Sand Lake Park, is the spot. No chairs, JB ate standing up, I sat on the nice, flat rocks.



This is the famous Swiss Inn. We stopped here once. It's for sale!


The perfect spot for lunch. The signage says Sand Lake, but Google calls it Miller's Lake! Very, very shallow, it was a nice wade on our trip home from Gravenhurst, 283 km, of 340 km to home.
