Province, these are the names of the Gem Lakes. Without a doubt, the day my sister and I hiked the forest path surrounding these pristine jewels was one of the best I experienced during the project. I thought I’d share some more images from the hike.

Province, when I visited Muenster, I couldn’t resist the charming collection of creatures I saw on the ledge of an apartment at Wolverine Heights. Congratulations to Loretta and Charles Gorzalitz who discovered the Tyndall stone there and thanks to Susan Dunne for helping to return it to the Legislative building!

Province, now that warm weather has returned and all the plants are greening, Tyndall stones are turning up very quickly! Ten year old Jorja and her friend Alyssa recently found the stone I hid in St. Brieux at the town’s movie theatre. Congratulations, Jorja and Alyssa!

Gem Lakes

Amazing news, Province! Scott Nicholls of Rock 102FM in Saskatoon has found a stone I hid along the hiking trail that follows the Gem Lakes! The Gem Lakes are a gorgeous cluster of small, deep bodies of water within Narrow Hills Provincial Park. Somehow the stones I’ve best hidden are unturned the fastest. I was so surprised when I heard from Scott! I mean, look how the Tyndall disappears into the verdant forest… Congratulations, Scott!

Province, remember how I told you about the stone that was unturned in Assiniboia? Well, here are some photos of the library volunteer who made the discovery, Bette Malesh, and her husband George. Thank you both for returning the stone to the Legislative building!

Fairy Glen was one of the tiniest communities I saw during my travels. I liked the Wikipedia description: “It not only has a Co-Op, but also a section of paved road.” Sounds like my kind of town. Congratulations on your discovery, Heather!

Froude is almost a ghost town. On the foggy day I visited, I nearly missed it for the hoar-frost. Reverend Glenn Ball recently discovered the stone I left in Froude at the abandoned Presbyterian Church. Thank you for participating!
