so, the trees start to get smaller and smaller..........then eventually no trees..... just some shrubby growth here and there........then.....nothing......just barren bed rock.....a veritable moonscape........this was just before INCO built that humongous (1200+ foot) stack for the nickel ore smelter in Copper Cliff....there were a couple of 500 footers but they didn't get the pollution high enough to be carried away by the prevailing winds........the smelter effluent killed everything.........all the vegetation and fish in local lakes out to about 20 miles........once the trees died, the soil just washed away leaving a barren moonscape. I read where the US astronauts actually trained up there....... the big attraction for visitors in summer in the evening was to go out and
Summer of 1970 a friend and I were hitchhiking across Canada, starting in Windsor.

We got stuck in Sudbury 3 days. Stood by the roadside all day every day and could not get a ride. End of the day we’d trek back to the hostel for the night. Finally got a ride with a guy from Montreal in a VW bug We became friends and rode with him to Vancouver, then South to San Francisco,

I remember the Sudbury moonscape well. Huge piles of slag. Not my favorite place.
