An item from the Moose Creek City Notes in the Frontier Signal of Dec. 10, 1914 describes a hair-raising boat ride on the ice of Buck Lake. Moose Creek City appears to have been another name for Emerson’s Cache Stopping Place, located about 20 km southeast of Sturgeon Lake, but it isn’t certain where Buck Lake was. No matter where it took place, it was quite a ride.
