Kin Beach Class B Provincial Park
Once a common feature at Provincial Parks, the cook shelter is rapidly being replaced by portable barbeques and is fading into history, Stone fireplaces, sinks to do the dishes, and sturdy picnic tables that were built to last.
Corn on the cob, fried chicken, potato salad and a seemingly endless variety of cold meats, cheeses and condiments. Maybe a ham, a baked salmon, and always cookies, tarts and pies.
It will be a sad day when the last cook shelter is gone, yet even sadder when young adults do not remember these social structures.
