When I got home I “Googled” Mighty Moe and it seemed a lot of people had fond memories of him. He did leave us in 2008 so all I have left is a couple of photos from our visit. It was shot on film but has aged well. Rosie and I with Mighty Moe at his cabin. Inside was, lets say, a little scary.

From his obit:

Moe was born on August 26, 1934 in Swastika, Northern Ontario, the fourth of six children born to Alfred and Yvonne Beaudoin.
Growing up in a small railroad town, Moe was an outgoing and adventuresome youth.

Moe joined the work force at an early age. His first job was as a lookout for forest fires. He had many interesting jobs throughout his life, he cooked in mining and logging camps and aboard ships on the Great Lakes. He prospected in Ontario and B. C. and also worked on diamond drills in Alaska.

In the early 1970’s, Moe moved to Cassiar, B.C. working there until acquiring his tourist campground and trapline at Cottonwood Lake on the Dease River. There, Moe met tourists from the U.S., Germany, Japan and other countries. Many of his guests continued to correspond with him throughout his retirement years.
