Post 2 of 3 sharing small videos from deep within Ontario’s Forests which show ancient signs of our past…
Large piles of rocks (known as ‘caches’) often marked ‘cornerposts’ of settlements. This is just down the road from the rock foundation we shared in yesterdays video.
These caches were made long ago – it’s amazing to find them in the middle of the woods in areas which are visited by 10 or fewer people a year (in all likliehood they are seen only by 1; 10 is avery conservative estimate).
It amazes me to know that hunters likemy Father (and many of the men I hunt with) can walk into the middle of the forest and deliberately take someone to visit long forgotten ruins of settlers like these. There really is a magic to places like this.
