WE TOOK A DRIVE UP INTO THE HILLS AROUND MT BALDY.

 Our neighbour Marian had this idea that she'd like to find the Old Camp McKinney cemetery which sounded like a fun project.  We had consulted another neighbour a few months ago just before he passed away and he gave us some hints on where to look.  While there is a bit of information online, no co-ordinates were found.  I did find a YouTube video that gave me more clues so off we went Tuesday morning.  I thought I found where I was to park so then I went off through the bush until I stumbled onto the actual trail.  I followed it back to where it started which wasn't far from the car and it was a short walk uphill to the actual cemetery.  There wasn't much to see but there is a good fence around it.  After lunch we took a different route home.

We came upon a band of wild? horses along the way.  They are probably owned by some of the local Indian band members but they roam over a huge part of the area.
