July 4th Ride Photos

Gazing west across Lake Huron. Somewhere way out there is Northern Michigan.

This charming cottage was originally a one room school built in 1879. About 50 students in Grades 1 through 8 would have attended. There are many many of these schools all over rural Ontario. Many were in use into the late 1960's. I actually know a few people may age who attended such a school. But in the late 60's they started busing the kids into the "town schools." At that time many of these schools went up for sale and were bought at an extremely low price. Many of them have renovated into these beautiful cottages or homes.
