Carbines and More... Detroit July 1967

[butlersrangers]

I suspect the "Irnwagle Scout Camp" (my spelling could be off) may have been incorporated into the Wheatley Provincial Park.

It did exist in the early 1960's and was a primitive camp. I was there a couple of times, around 1961-62, and we camped on a bluff with the beach on Lake Erie below.

I can remember waking up to the sound of commercial fishing boats going out on Lake Erie.

One of our leaders went into town and brought back a ton of Smelt for us to cook up.

I remember 'The Big Tomato' information booth in Leamington being a landmark on the way!

Makes sense.

That too, not quite all the way into Pelee point...

'The Big Tomato'

Always a good hold card for anyone that says they're from the area..."What's the most recognized landmark in Leamington?" Answer, "The big tomato"...advance one and be recognized...
