1970 photo of Scott's cottage. Notice the missing parking lot and gas pumps. The
swimming raft in the foreground was used by many cottagers to haul building materials across the lake. Alex called it the "fuddle duck", this was in the early 70's before we had a road in off the south road. This raft was build out of aircraft gas tanks.
Card from Victor Huttmann.
