This location is in front of the oldest brick house in Minden, and is now the location of the Northern Eagle Campground. Beware of muggles in the summer!
Silver spice tube, contains logbook, and some fun little things.
This campground is very unique. This has been a campground for a long time, the engravings on the old house prove it (1920s). The Northern Eagle was created by Helen and Murray Robertson, later sold to Godfried and Marie Saunders, and later passed to their son, Craig Saunders.
In the early 1990s, the property was scheduled to be sold to lakefront developers. In response to this, the campers (including my parents...and now me) formed a corporation to purchase the park, and this is how it has remained nearly 20 years later. I have heard that there is only one other campground in Ontario that is owned and seasonally-inhabited by its shareholders. As we are all shareholders, and have exclusive use of our campsites for life, we all take pride in keeping it beautiful and pitch in with our individual skills.
Each weekend we hold various events, including a Kids Day, Canada Day celebration, Darts, Euchre, Movie Nights, Shuffleboard, Softball, and of course, the safest game known to man....lawn darts....yes, the ones you can't buy anymore-kind!
The campground is open from the beginning of May until Thanksgiving weekend in the summer, and approximately December to March in the winter.
As a corporation, we own the house, the attached recreation hall, the adjacent white cottage with green roof (available for rental), the boat docks to the south of the cache, and the private beach area approximately 300?m to the west down the road.
Dave McDonald, our park custodian, a guy with a big beard, knows about this cache.
