Site of the 2009 OARC/BARC Field Day#

Our exercise will be held at 4480 Appleby Line, a large empty field at the intersection of Appleby Road and #2 Sideroad just north of Burlington.

This field is attached to the Mt Nemo Lookout B & B and has been graciously offered to us by Evy Wilson, the host of the B & B. She's hoping to use it someday for walking trails for her guests, but for now it isn't groomed. It's going to be a tough slog, but what a great open area to setup in!

You can see it on Google Maps.

The road in

Somebody recently dumped a load of dirt in the driveway. Apparently this kind of thing is a problem in that area.

Walking up the entry road.

There is lots of rock and gravel on the site. Peter, VE3PRS has relatives nearby that are going to come down with a tractor and spread it over the road for us, so we shouldn't have these big ruts to get stuck in.

Towards the back of the site

Over the years, people have dumped various items on the property. This is an old agricultural sprayer.

Ready-made shack for the phone station?
