1. Brule Devoured at Cannibal Feast

Toanche was on of the Huron(a)s (Wendat) major cities ruled by the Bear tribe in the early 1600(a)s. The great French explorer, Etienne Brule, was sent by Samuel de Champlain to the region to learn the Huron language and customs in 1610. Later he acted as interpreter and organizer of the Huron fur trade with the French. The Huron were at war with the Iroquois to the south- namely, the Seneca, of the city of Ganatsekiagon at Pickering, Ontario, and with the nations on the south side of Lake Ontario. * Look at the write-up on here under "Pickering" for more history.

In his travels, Brule discovered Georgian Bay and all 5 great lakes. His distances travelled by canoe are staggering. He was the first white man to see the ancient site of Toronto (Teiaiagon) and to paddle down the Susquehannah R. to Chesapeake Bay.

  • The Wendat raised dogs as culinary delicacies.

Cannibalism: In 1633, following what the Huron considered Brule(a)s betrayal of Champlain and for his suspected trading with the Seneca, Brule was tortured and eaten by the Bear tribe at Toanche where he made his home. He became the first and only white man to be devoured at a cannibal feast in Ontario. The ghastly event occured at this vanished city which was located just north of modern-day Penetanguishene.

A modern village called Toanche still exists to this day in the area.

And to learn about the capital city of the Hurons look under "Oro-Medonte" here to find "Cahiague: Huron City of Torture".

2. 1950's car wreck

This is an abandoned car wreck from the 1950's. It's located on an old concession road, we've been walking our dogs there for years and have always found it pretty interesting. I've talked to a few of the local folk about the history around it and rumor has it that a couple had been driving and lost control of their car, hit the tree and did not survive the crash. Ive heard this story from a variety of sources but haven't found any records to confirm. There is a large steep hill beside the wreck, which makes me believe it did have to do with losing control while coming down it.

To get to it you would go all the way down to the end of Hillcrest Road, it is a dead end and at the end there is a trail where the old concession road would have been. Start walking down the trail, which is beautiful in itself if you enjoy nature, and about a 10 to 15 minutes walk along the trail you will find the car just off the path, you can't miss it.

I have some more shots from our walk there today I will be posting as soon as I can.

3. No Hope (Island)

Hope island lighthouse, abandoned in 1988. a very cool site in gods country. Somehow vandals even found their way to this remote site and wrecked nearly everything. We do not believe in ghosts but got soo creeped out as the sun set that we hightailed it off the island. I blame the weirdness we experienced was a cause of all the nitrogen we consumed while diving local wrecks this day. Yes weird stuff like figures passing through the bush and howling moans from the forest. Yes we ran like scared schoolgirls!!!!!
