Cannot find Juniper tree in fenced area, as someone commented below.

I was there this summer and found the chapel and letterbox are inside a fence compound. I suspect fence is to protect chapel following threatening activity due to Residential Schools

Loved this location. Walked through the grave yard and looked at all the names. Spoke to a gentleman in the chapel that had been there all day and we were the first visitors. He was very interesting to listen to.

Really enjoyed learning the history about this chapel, then walking through it after stamping in. Got to speak to a friendly man inside the chapel, who spoke passionately about Mohawk traditions - I quite enjoyed it. Thanks for bringing me here.

A lovely location. We went up to the river outlook to stamp in, and then went for a short tour of the stained glass windows by a young First Nations docent. A very rewarding visit.

This was a hard one to find. I had no idea what a juniper was. Really liked it though.

Found this on May 18th. The church was open so I went inside first then found the well hidden box where I had looked before but had thought it was missing. enjoyed the visit and the box very much.

The piles of debris Lone R mentioned were made by Hal because he refused to give up looking. Beautiful location. I hope you can replant.

May 10: Update: Monkeyboys checked and it's there! I'll be back. :)

May 7: I think it's missing. The area under the junipers had been raked out by grounds keepers. There were small piles of sticks and debris that they raked out. In one of the piles was a broken blue tupperware lid. You can see it on my blog entry here: http://ontariocacher.wordpress.com/2011/05/08/may-7th-a-great-letterboxing-day/

If it really is gone I hope you will hide on the property again. That's such a great historic place. I'll try to go back when the church is open. Now that I've been on the church grounds I'd love to see what it looks like on the inside.
