Historical Inclusion

ELCA has been informed that the western area of the Clarke Road past Africa Trail, which includes the hill known as Boston's Hill, is just a part of the road name and requires more completion.

This road was actually not part of the original cottage association.  Gord Carter, is the last remaining cottager who paid to have Carson Bamford push the road down to the end.  At their expense.  Thus a more complete description would be the Carter/Carson road, or the CC extension and the hill that intersects Africa Trail is still Boston's Hill.  Actually sounds pretty good.  Dmitry's corner would be approximately the mid point of the CC extension.

Glad to clear that up.  Thanks to Orange Crush.  Perhaps a ribbon cutting ceremony after SARS-2.

Now, the next challenge is the Healy excavation which does not have a common name.  Suggestions?

Sweat hill

The 14-17 inches of snow last week really cause difficulties on the hills of our association.  This is especially true of the road from Africa Trail to the end of Clarke.

One atv could not make it up the hill after repeated packing by skidoos.  Too much powder which would not compact.

So, one Resident decided to hand shovel a path for the wheel tracks of the ATV.  From the bottom to the top! 

This hill is effectively known as "Boston's Hill"

Slush

The great depth of snow on the lake is a fantastic insulator.  Any cracks on the lake that bleed water are protected from freezing and thus produce slush.  Slush loves to slow snowmobiles and embrace them closely.

Road travel

 Road can be driven by vehicles.  But mill hill is snow packed to ice and a bit slippery.  Four cottages occupied: 2 seasonal and 2 permanent residents.
