A Trip to The Highlands of Ontario miles the road showed too- traffic oo traffic to be a plain tlirougblare. The Ontario Road Map was no lon- ger a guide as we were, now too far north. Fortunately, we had a good map of the part of South- ern Ontario north of Orillia.; but it wasn't a road map. • Locating on it a station that we had just passed, we knew we had wander- ed too far- west. Here we saw this first outcrop of solid Lauren- tian rock formation. This out- crop marks the edge of the ear- th's oldest region. It 'was a low ridge running east and west for some distance. The roadway we were on had been improved by the blasting away of some of this hard rock. Having never been in the Laurentian region before, I was •perticularly interested and took time to note its dark, gray color and other distinctive featur- es. The top was well rounded off and smooth eecept for long the! scrathees or furrows all of which the pointed south-west, These were made, ages ago, by boulders of granite and gneiss from parts of Northern Quebec and Labrador. M1ny of these boulders can be seen along our roadsides and in the, fields where the Great Glac- ier left them after it had melted u;lrler the influence of a 'warmer epoch. tI is interesting to read =ram the surface of the rocks the geological history of our' provin- ce. In Northern Simcoe much of this .rock is blasted and then cru- s'red for inacadainizing the road•=. Several applications of this crush - e1 rock make the road like pave- ment after it is well rolled by n heavy tractor made for this pur- pese, but how the driver of our outfit groaned when we struck s elle of the freshly applied mat- erial and he saw _ how its sharp elges "chewed up" the tires. At one station a mountain like heap of crushed rock was ready for shipment to southern parts oI Ontario. Front Barrie to Orillia we had the choice of three roads, the lake road, the high road, and the middle road. The Lake Road is the longest, but it compensates the tourist in giving a splendid view of Lake Simcoe. To part- ly make up for lost time we chose the middle road which was level and had fine farms on either side Before entering Orillia we passed the Asylum for the insane. IL is a stately building and is beauti- fully situated on a hillside, over- looking the town. A one-horse waggon load of fresh beef was being delivered there for the bad- ly needs of the mentally unfortun- ate ones. The thought struck me that eating, perhaps, is the only enjoyment many of the inmates have. Thinking we could not help mis- sing the road to Muskoka, we struck boldly north from Orillia but after a run of about twelve •••From Orillia northward; the road runs parellel with Lake Cou- chiching. When we reached this bi'iutiful lake we knew we Were a sin on the right track. This long, narrow lake, reaching north mere than ten miles, and thickly Right In Your Liome! You can thank Thomas A.

Severn River which drains Lake Simcoe into Georgian Bay end makes..a natural boundary. betwe- en Simcoe County and the Distr- ict of Muskoka. As soon .as the Severn River is crossed etheepsis a decided chan- ge in scenery. South of it there are only few outcroppings of La- nrentian rock but on the Muskoka side there is rock everywhere.The soil seems to fill only the depres- sions between the higher parts.In the village of Severn many houses are wihtout cellars, as, in many rases, they are perched on humps of solid rock. The first road , through Muskoka and Parry So- und was constructed with a view to saving expenses in its upkeep. It as nearly as was possible, fol- lows the' height of land to avoid bridge -building and always went around a hill to save blasting a cut-out. From this you may im- agine how many ups and downs, frequent curves and sharp turns there are in dodngi the hills and rocks. A greenhorn wouldn't need to apply for a chauffeur's license here. The roads were quite passable, but they were, to say the least, dangerous. Nat- urally, we proceeded slowly, for the road was so crooked that we feared to go fast fro fear of me- eting oursel ee.s coming hack from the next world. To add to our difficulties, many dozens of tour- ists, mostly Americans, in their "big" cars met us. As you could seldom see teen rods ahead, you never knew when one of the "big' ones would conte lumbering from. behin 1 a rock or a lucesp of trees The three of us, respectively; to- ok o'1" turns in driving, watching for ' '.nleees, and seeing the scen- ery n ; you could do only one of these at a time. Having detail- ed ori" duties in this way, we met seith no mishaps. In ;'.'-nuthern Muskoka was the rockiest scenery we saw on our trip. Probably, several epochs before the creation of man, it boasted of lofty .mountains, an off shoot or continuation of the Laurentide Mountains in ' Eastern Quebec. Being the oldest of mo- untains, they began to crumble in spite of their hardness, and the succeding ice ages ground them down, till, little more than huge hummocks were left- when man's history began. Less than fifty years ago even the tops of these were covered with fine trees. Owing to the recklessness of man, fire consumed much of this Forrest not only burning the, trees but also the layer of humus which sup- ported then., To -day, large stu- mps and partly burned trunk, ly- ing high on the -bare rocks, still tell the story.
