"I think of the bear hunkered down on the windswept tundra, the ptarmigan huddled in the lee of a leafless bush, the caribou whose sun-warmed slope has turned into a snow-caked maelstrom, and  I am embarrassed by my own desires: four solid walls and a good night's sleep."

Karsten Heuer, Being Caribou

   The towering jack pines stand far apart during a winter storm. This area has been cut before by loggers, however, unlike a clear cut where all valuable timber is cut, these tree were left. Of course this not a forest untouched, but at least this land is not spoiled. 

   This forest is along highway 58, the highway to Round Lake of the Renfrew County, behind the Jack Lakes.
