Skijoring – behind dogs – has seen a resurgence in recent years. It must have been quite the experience behind a horse! Can you guess the date of this photo? Was it a sport you ever tried? (Photo: Muskoka Digital Archives.)<\/strong><\/p>\n Wayback Wednesday is sponsored by Cavalcade Color Lab<\/strong><\/p>\n A few readers thought this photo might be the old lodge at Deerhurst, but it’s actually Limberlost Lodge, a building that has since burned down. Here’s what some of you had to say about it:<\/p>\n Connie Spiers: This photo was taken on Lake Solitaire in front of Limberlost Lodge. This particular Lodge burned down and was replaced with a stone building which had only family and staff accommodations included. I remember seeing the \u201cSnow Machiner\u201d in photos there..<\/p>\n Dave Johns: Looks like a Fudge’s snow sedan. In the winter the logging companies would go out on the lakes and check the stands of trees. Muskoka Wood rented one from Middleton\u2019s Transport. Neat looking vehicle.<\/p>\n Chuck McTague: That\u2019s great! Interesting invention of a winter \u201cAir-Boat\u201d, the car body itself is a cool (warm?) idea. As to the surveying of stands of lumber, my Grandparents had \u2018slabs\u2019 from the lumber mills brought in to heat the central boiler, supplying heat to the cabins on site. Perhaps the lumber people used Limberlost as their winter Camp for the area? I looked over my collection of Limberlost photos and as near as I can tell the Lodge was rebuilt twice (re. fires) and always used the original stone foundation (and then expanding on it).<\/p>\n Cathy May wondered: What year would this \u201csnow machine\u201d picture have been taken? Curiosity killed the Cat-hy!<\/p>\n Cathy, that’s one question we don’t have the answer to. Doppler readers, can you help?<\/p>\n Skijoring – behind dogs – has seen a resurgence in recent years.
