“Just inside the East Gate, the Algonquin Logging Museum brings the story of logging to life from the early square timber days to the last of the great river drives. Start your tour with a video presentation that sums up the logging history of the Algonquin area. On the easy to walk 1.3 km (.8 miles) trail, a recreated caboose camp and a fascinating steam-powered amphibious tug called an "alligator" are among the many displays. … Hours of operation: May 18 to October 7, 2002 - Daily 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Although the Reception Building (and Bookstore) will be closed before May 18 and after October 7, the Logging Museum trail and outdoor exhibits are always available to Park visitors…”

The Logging Museum has special interest for Fran as in the 1940’s her father worked in such a winter camp in Algonquin Park. Actually, one winter someone had to snowshoe in to tell him that his wife (Fran’s mother) had suffered a ruptured appendix and had been rushed to hospital. It must have a long way out, not knowing if she had survived or not.
