Photos by Bob McElroy 2010-10-22. Bob McElroy sends over 24 photos taken in Oct. 2010 of the MOOR LAKE, the winch boat sitting in Driftwood Provincial Park near Stonecliffe. Driftwood Provincial Park is a provincial park on the south shore of the Ottawa River, about 40 kilometres west of Deep River, Ontario. Bob says (Nov. 2018): "I have not been up to Driftwood Park for several years, but I have no reason to believe it is not still there. My understanding is that the park wants to fix the boat up and put it on proper display, but so far is lacking the necessary funds."
