Indian Cucumber Planr Lake of Bays

Lake of Bays Earl Plato

On the way to the giant Beaver Dams naturalist Ernie Giles paused at a new plant to me. Ernie could live off the land. He knew his plants both edible and inedible, The root of the Indian cucumber has an edible root. I had my sketch book with me and made a simple drawing. The beaver dams stretched across an entire inlet. Longest I have ever seen. Yes, two beavers were cutting down trees across the way.
