A depot camp to supply the Redstone and Kennisis [lumber] camps was located on lot 3, concession 7, Guilford township, beside a creek flowing from Mud Lake. The late Frank Barry who in 1960 owned this property told how it was serviced from Bobcaygeon by cadge teams which took a day to get as far as Minden from Bobcaygeon. After spending a night at the Minden hotel, a second day's journey brought them to Gwinn's Corners where team and driver enjoyed the hospitality of the Half Way house. The third day saw the load delivered to the Mud Lake depot and the team returning to Bobcaygeon for another consignment. Ibid. pg 47
