...according to the hiking map. This stove was all that was left and a small pile of wood a bit further on.

Cheers,

When I was on my way up I didn't gave it much more then a second look, but on my way down I had come around to your way of thinking and took the shot. Thank you for commenting!

So weird, how some objects stay after the rest is long gone.

I have a similar one in the woods near my house. I believe it was the wood stove for the old school house that was near it's final resting place in the 30's. All the materials for the old school house were stolen when the new school was built. I guess they didn't want the old stove. IN my travels through Algonquin Park and environs , I've found at least 3 old stoves in similar condition.

In Canada the topo maps haven't been updated since the late 70s. There are all kinds of buildings that no longer exist on those maps. I've looked for some of them. It's often not worth the effort.

Thanks! The nearest paved road is about 20 kilometers away and that stove looks rather heavy... I think that might explain it.

When I was a boy having on your yearly holiday with the family in Western Norway we got to meet a guy from Canada traveling by bicycle. Really nice guy and he told us there were many similarities between Canada and Norway. He was mainly talking about the landscape but now I know it does not stop there. Thanks! And when I started hiking in northern Norway I used maps from the early '70s. One day I just experienced a dangerous river crossing in foul weather. I was wet, cold, hungry and to be honest also somewhat rattled by something that felt like a near death experience. Luckily I noticed a cabin nearby on the map near a small lake. A solution was at hand! But it was not to be. After searching for al long time I discovered a door leading into a dug out space in a small hill; but it had caved in and was beyond any use. I learned the same lesson you learned.

Aye but the controls aren’t too user friendly.

Yes, the intact cabins further up the path were far more popular.

If only this relic could talk, and tell the things it's seen.
