The rain is blissful and the temperture perfect for a walk through the woods. As we trek towards the house boat that Mrs. Durant stayed in during black fly season, I sky is gray and the rain begins to fall. The boat was left in the bay for decades abandoned before being refurbished in 1999. THe existing mold took my breath away, it was ifficult to stay inside for too long. The bunk beds had steps built into the frame. These were not private quarters. I suspect that Mrs. Durant was close to her helpers given the proximity of space inside. Next, we walked to a Catholic Church that had a beautiful clapboard ceiling with a painted on stencil design.
Following this we took another trail to the Kirby Camp. Legends says that Mrs. Kirby may have been the mistress of Mr. Durant. Is this really just a legend. Most accept the legend but I wonder about the type of person Mrs. Kirby was. Perhaps she was a woman of dignity.
Off for lunch...
