Memory Lane

Ray and I drove up to Jackfish Lake on Saturday. I wanted to check out where Starview Camp used to be. It was a camp where my St. Martins friends and I spent every September long weekend as teens, and I camp counselled there one whole summer. Jackfish Lake is being seriously developed right now,as is most of our province. It's almost unrecognizable. So with trepidation, we saw the Satarview Camp sign, took the left turn off the highway, drove up the big hill, came around the corner, and -gasp- there it was, looking exactly the same, just as I left it 35 years ago. Wow,that was weird! A good weird. I took pictures. It's up for sale, and there are cabins being built all around it,so it's good I went when I did.
