Site #114 - $13.
Wood sold
Friday evening was perfect. No wind and sweatshirt only needed at the fire. Dinner was a Caesar salad with a wiener roast.
On Saturday, we test drove a Ford diesel truck. Later we went for a long hike to the Camp Easter seal property. We ended the hike with an icecream cone from the spa.
In the late afternoon, it clouded up plus got windy and cool with a temperature drop.

It's Camping Season, 1998!!
Wakaw Lake Regional
Site A-11 $12. (+ park pass $15.)
free wood available
Finally!! My urge to camp becomes a reality! Wakaw Lake opens on May 1 with their power and water turned on.
Sign says "Choose-a-Site", but it turns out we pick a seasonal rental spot. Crap! Turned out it wasn't a problem and we didn't have to move.
The sun was shining and it was 15C when we arrived. Got set up, bread-a-baking and had dinner at 7:30 - raw veggies and dip with a wiener roast! Awwwww...... contentment!
Unfortunately, the temp dropped to 0C in the evening, so it was out with the parka and mitts. The showers weren't working but the attendant rectified the problem the next day.
Saturday, we had problems with a very persistent robin who was seeing his shadow in our mirrored 5th wheel windows and who was continually 'attacking' himself. He would not give up! Even though he was dazed with a bleeding beak. :(
We finally covered the window with newspaper. At 5 am the paper blew off and the robin was back at the window. Unbelievable crazy! (and very annoying@!)
We stayed at the park until after dinner and then headed for home. We got caught in a horrible windstorm -- 70 to 100 km winds plus poor visibility with blowing dust. We ended up waiting it out at the Wakaw corner garage for 1 1/2 hrs. Finally, we arrived home at 9 pm.
