More importantly, I have it on very good authority from My Boss that Mitchell's Bay was the home of the Red Fisher show and the fictitious "Scuttlebutt Lodge". He apparently spent a lot of time there as a Game Warden. Anyone roughly my age and who grew up with only local Canadian TV stations to watch will know what I'm talking about, when I say "Red Fisher". Younger fans of the spoof Red Green Show may also appreciate the sentiment.
Also found a cool new walking trail in the area, thanks to the Laprise family, who converted part of their farmland to public trail and boardwalk along the water. As luck would have it, we even met The Laprises themselves, as they were attempting to put the canvas roof on the "Flintstones Car" in a high wind while we walked the trail. They were very forthcoming with information and back-story, and we were very forthcoming with "thanks for allowing the public access to your beautiful property".
Cool spot all around, will have to return.

I love the tree growing through the rock. Nice metaphor.
