The acivitýies of the group centred in at Sandaraska Park, north on Highway 115 late Thurs- day aàfternoon, while comn- pleting the last leg of their Ontario journey. The group were originally divided into two groups. The first group of riders and pack hiorses left on July 24 from a Native reservation on Perry Island near Perry Sound. They began travelling south- east along the old J. R. Boothe railway.. The second group, also travelling along the Boothe railway, began their ride on jully 28 from Tîmbertown near Renfrew on the Ottawa River. The"two groups joined on August 4 near Whitney and continued their journey souý-thward. Anyone on fout or horseback was welcome to join thre Trail Riders anweealong thie route for eachi person provided their own horse and paid for ex- penses. Even though the riderýs spend an average of about ight houirs in th e sad- dle tper dlay, this was a sum- mier vacation for miany and especialý one woman of the group. The riders then travelled from Whitney to (ilenross where they picked up the Great Pine Ridge Trail which wiil take them to their destination after intersecting with the Heritage Trail. Thursday evening, the Trail Riders spent the night at Sandaraska Park in Manvers Township. Their day had started at about 8:30 that miorning in Bewdley with ar- rivaI ai Sanaraska Park around 5 p.m. AhhlGugh tired, the twenty riders first concern was the welfare of the horses. Mayor Garnet Rickard and Anne Cowman, Councillor for the Town of Newcastle, were on hand to welcome the riders. The Historical Society had been in earlier in the afternoon to set up the usual bicentennial flags that madea perfet back drop for Mayor Richard as he recounted the history of the Town of Newcastle and the surroun- ding area. Everyone presenit received a pin which displayed the Town of Newcastle crest. Mayor Rickard also provided apples and cider for the group. Following his speech, the mayor sîgned the Journey scroll. One scroll began it's journey from Perry Island in the hands of a local marathon runner for the first ten miles before it was transferred to horseback. The other scroll started in Timbertown. At each stop along the traîls, respected members of each community are requested to sign the scroll. Another of the Associa- tion's projects designed to br- ing Ontario together is the ."journey quilt". Each town or village bas been asked to make two quilt squares. One is to be clone in the traditional log cabin motif with the name of the town and the date of it's origin while the other is to be a plain square with the names of the original families stitched in. The Town of Newcastle is to forward their two quilt patches to be in- cluded in the quilt. -The first square, showing the tradional pine tree, was made by Mrs. LaVallee, a Maite Indian from Algon- quin Park. When ail the squares have been received, the quilt will be stitched together and will visil ail the participating com- munities along with the scrolls.
