In the late 1980’s a 1910 small black journal was found in the local garbage dump. The Presque Isle Heritage Society then tracked down its author, Harry Foerster, Sr. This journal goes into detail of a three week canoeing adventure centered on lakes, rivers and creeks south of Fosterville. It can be read in it's entirely within Liza Tuttle’s book Crab Lake Memories. (Link to a transcribed August, 1910 Calander of events.) The journal describes this great adventure in detail of the four men traveling about 60-70 miles! The Small white numbers within the blue circles are the dates in August 1910 when Harry and his buddies canoed through that area.
