After breakfast we set to explore an abandoned saw mill on 130 acres called Stonehill Farm. This property once housed workers that ran a small sawmill. It has been zoned to build 300 units but has sat empty now for some time. Perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon.
We discovered ponds, buildings, art work, sawing equipment and more
Since left to return to nature, graffiti and garbage have found their way here but still it is great place to explore.
The old saw mill
The wood still looks pretty new.
Through the woods to the waterfall we found art hanging from the trees.
Unfortunately the waterfall was too dry to put on a show but a lovely mossy spot.
A “hermit” somewhere in the woods keeps it tidy and has built some structures.
Out of the farm, we headed into Duncan for some lunch at Just Jakes.
These were excellent fish tacos, build your own. Norm with his toasted BLT with onion rings!
Next stop a coffee and shared brownies. Note the teddy bear lattes.
Time to relax outside on the deck before dinner, seafood casserole and salad. Thanks Lon!!! Yummy!
This is the view we got to see every day from their deck, Quamichan Lake.
Thanks Lon and Lorrie for a perfect end to our road trip holiday.
Zero stress and great fun when the Gidneys bunk down — first overnighting friends since 2019 and Pandemic!
