And I corresponded with the current owners of the property and they agree that I did find the right spot. P.S.

In the winter photo that I took, check out the barn. The trees and fence have changed; it's five years later. Trees have died, the fence is gone, etc. Peter Burian Well, I am sure I found the right spot. In the winter photo that I took, check out the barn.

The trees and fence have changed; it’s five years later.

The only place that shows up along Side Road 8 is this property: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=43.425918,-79.929351&spn=0.001703,0.003326&t=h&z=18 But in truth, I'm not entirely convinced that the photographer DID find the same spot.

The angles are all wrong to line up with either the house or seperate garage/barn in the link... Put the two images side by side on your desktop if you don't believe me. Carl (Well done to Nick for finding the general area though!)

This is what the original sentence said: "My best guess, based on the fence and the glimpse of an old gray barn at the end, is that it's the lane leading south to the old Harris homestead at 2270 8th Sideroad."
