“Traveler”

| The imagery in
this
banner shows the Miss McKenzie crossing the Bruce Channel to McKenzie
Island. Carl Robinson, a pioneer to the Red Lake area, is
piloting the boat. The Gold Eagle Hotel can be seen in the background.
Navigating a boat is an occupation Carl once had, back in the
30’s, when he brought supplies up the Chukuni River. This is transportation to the Red Lake area revisited. All goods and services were either by water or by aircraft and also tractor train in winter. The individual you see piloting the Miss McKenzie is a neighbour and good friend…Carl Robinson, whom I have known since I was a child. |
