There was also once an old Roman Catholic log church that was built to serve the local First Nations community sometime before 1935; this too has long since disintegrated.
Stop #5: Grande Cache Lake Head back to the highway and turn right. Drive for 3 km and turn right again at the Grande Cache Lake sign and pull into the picnic site. This is the site of an ancient First Nations camp. In the 1960s, extensive archaeological work was done on the site, which is thought to be some 10,000 years old.
Stop #6: Muskeg River Graveyard & Muskeg Store Drive 11.4 km to this site, located
on a hill at the right side of the road, just past the bridge that crosses the Muskeg River. There you’ll find a spot to pull off the road. This was a popular stopping spot for the local Aboriginal people going between the communities of Susa Creek and Muskeg. From here, drive south for 9.7 km until you see the bridge crossing at Teepee Creek. Just before the bridge, pull into the pullout on the left, beside the Caribou information sign. This is the site of the old Muskeg trading post.
Stop #7: The Pierre Grey Post Drive 2.7 km to Pierre Greys Lakes. Turn left at the first entrance and drive on the gravel road for 3 km until
you reach the sign for the Joachim campsite. Return to the main gravel road, make a right and follow along for 0.7 km until you see a sign for the Moberly campsite. Continue driving until you see the lake. Pull up to the boat launch and look to your left (north) where you will see an unmarked walking trail that parallels the lake. Follow the trail for about 800 metres and you will come to an antler with a sign pointing to the right for the remnants of the post. After a very short walk (100 metres), you will arrive at the ruins. You will see the remains of three buildings and a couple of graves behind one of the buildings.
