Point Pelee National Park of Canada
One of my fondest childhood memories are our family winter picnics to Point Pelee.
In the 1950's my Mom, Dad, Grandmother, Grandfather, Aunts, Uncles and many cousins would make the winter time trek to the covered picnic areas of Point Pelee.
The covered picnic areas were large log structures with giant cast iron stoves located in the middle of the building surrounded by large long picnic tables.
My Dad and Uncles would cover the openings of the building with canvas and stoke the giant stove! Uncle Jack was the worlds greatest cook and spent hours at the stove cooking a huge feast while all us kids played in the snow! The smells still linger today.
