This is the old arch that was at the entrance to North Bay. It straddled the highway entrance. It was eventually moved to the park by the lake front as the highway was enlarged and the tractor trailers of today could not pass under it. It is a beautiful old structure.

Those are just great, Judy! Glad to see you're putting the camera to work! :thumbsup:
Thanks Jeanne
Preeeeeeeeeeety good, Judy! Thanks for sharing.
I know they are not centered but you get the general idea.
Thanks Gary
I haven't been there, but the place looks inviting. I would not plan to drive there in winter though. I heard the snow can be really thick. Good shots by the way. Thanks Judy for sharing.
Awe come on the snow is not that bad...and coming from me who hates cold that says a lot. The roads are cleared well and are mostly dry. There are no igloos! There are a lot of ice huts on the ice for fishing though!
That's one of the advantages of living where snow is normal in the winter - the roads are quickly cleared.
Jeanne in January we have water running free in our streams. It has been a lot of years since we have had a lot of snow here. 1996 - 1997 we had snow that was deep and heavy. I don't recall winter being that bad since. Usually it is just cold.
John has worked on road clearing and really enjoyed it.
Judy, we got dumped on in 2008-2009. But this past winter, with very little snow, was colder.
