Mystery

mysteryEveryone loves a mystery or so I’m told, myself they just simmer and fester and other times I find  they’re chewing gum for the brain. This page isn’t to purposely mystify or confuse anyone in anyway but a place to post those pesky pictures that need to be put in their proper places. The goal is to match them up with other views, old aerial photos and present day and/or underwater photos.

The photos will be at a low(er) resolution to make loading faster and in other cases the bad picture will have to do until it’s identified and better copies can then be acquired.

Any and all suggestions, educated guesses, hunches, shots in the dark are welcome but won’t be posted without permission, Thanks.

AS THE WATERS RISE

1__FLDROADMAYBE

WR1. As the waters rise. Last time to walk through downtown Moulinette?

m__FL014a

WR2. Certainly looks like the bypass west of Moulinette and Highway #2 going over island 17? Where else would there be such a huge dip in the highway?

#1. Sand Bay, trees are on Long Sault Island and Rapids Point?

PEOPLE & PLACES

1__HOCKEYTEAM1905

PP1. Unidentified players. Mille Roches hockey team 1905.

LAKE_VIEW

PP2. Anyone know where we would have to have been to see this sign (other than the museum)?

HOCKEYPUCK

PP3. Mille Roches Hockey Puck. Who’s initials are these?

Found in the small creek next to St  Matthew’s church which was next to the Public School.  The initial R. B. are carved into both sides of this smaller than normal puck (during an underwater survey mission to the papermill, the anchor dragged and plowed the puck out of the mud).

Reply:  “In looking at the puck and considering that it was found  beside the Mille Roches Public School, I think it could belong to Richard Barnhart who attended school there with me. He was in my classes for awhile but I lost track of him. In Long Sault, he and his family lived in the beautiful red brick house right across from the Long Sault arena and Richard himself played hockey there as a teenager” Mrs A. Summers, Long Sault

PP4. Construction photo. Labeled as a street in Wales.

“Looking east along the new railway corridor, the fence is new, what appeared like a sidewalk is a new ditch, they’re excavating the hill just south of the old stone quarries, the steel hydro towers are still there today.”

PP7. The canal in front of Moulinette? Is this photo backwards or is it the hydro poles along the abandoned canal bank that don’t add up?

m__MYSTERYHIGHWAY_1

PP8. Highway #2?

m__Wales1

PP9. A street in Wales? It’s commonly agreed that Wales was pretty much flat, hence the question of where is this street from?

“the dip in front of the (insurance place), driveway on the right, you’re looking south.”
