Camp
This is the original powerhouse at
the Canadian locks

We got to see a tour boat go
through the locks

August 20, 2002 -
I met Judy and Dandy on the shores of Lake Superior's Whitefish Bay

This was the administator's house

There were lots of flowers on the
grounds

The next day, we decided to visit
this scenic overlook

We saw this freighter exiting from
the locks

Behind the overlook is Mission Hill
Cemetery

There are many family plots surrounded
by metal or wooden fences

A marker at this site read ...

Sailors of the Steamer "Myron"

During the early evening of November 22, 1919, the Steamer "Myron" slid beneath the waves of Lake Superior off Whitefish Point during a violent storm. The crew attempted to use the lifeboats while the captain chose to remain with his ship. The crew perished but the captain was found near Ile Parisienne, clinging to a portion of the floating wreckage. In the spring of 1920, eight bodies from the "Myron", encased in ice, washed ashore at Salt Point.

They are buried here - May they rest in peace.

This headstone is a very large
painted rock

An indian headstone contains an
image of a chief placed on a
circular saw blade

A recent indian grave had the
deceased's footed metal cane and
a large dream catcher

In the same plot was the grave of
a child with a baseball cap and a
handful of coins
