Linda Michie has family roots in the Horseshoe Lake area near Arden that go back to United Empire Loyalist days.
Her family owned a 216 acre parcel that was sold in the late 1960’s and became a 180 lot waterfront subdivision in the area. The family kept a waterfront front lot where Linda, and her husband Geoff, live now. Last year they purchased a large part of the original land parcel, the back lands that abut the waterfront lots.
This includes a section that is located at the junction of Big Bay Lane and Cranberry Lake Road. Last fall, Linda took a course with Roger MacMunn, the renowned sign-maker from Mountain Grove, and did the finish work on a new sign for that location.
This spring Geoff and Linda decided to clean up the corner and put up the sign. They cleared brush and removed garbage from the spot, filling numerous trailers to go to the dump, and then did some landscaping and plantings to create a park-like setting.
“It turned into a pretty big project,” Geoff Michie told the News.
As neighbours have returned, they have been impressed with the efforts, and one of them, Greg McEachern sent in this photo.
