Sudbury, moonscape bare rocks, trains of slag tipping sideways down the slag heap. My wife and I and infant son saw that in 1977 enroute from Ottawa to the west. We happened upon it. Initially I wondered why the landscape was bare.

It was amazing.

As were the mosquitoes trying to get into our tent at night by lake Superior. Fortunately we had good mesh ventilation in the tent entry. I put my spread hand against the mesh and rotated it several millimetres so the mosquitoes could land but not bite. When I removed my hand after a minute, the mesh was black with mosquitoes where my hand had been, exactly in the shape of my hand and fingers.

PS a customer near Ottawa, Jay Pineau of Noranda Metal Industries built a nickel zirconium tube manufacturing plant to supply nuclear reactor manufacturers. I suppose the nickel was produced at Sudbury. My good old days.
