Thursday: We camped with Charlie, Carolyn Scott and Dustin plus Mike and Bonnie and their three kids. Day 1 fishing was good but there were no keepers. We sat at the fire till 1 a.m. The wind came up during the night.

On Friday, Charlie and Mike went to look at a boat. Carolyn's friend Sonya came by for a visit. Charlie Ron and I went for a short fishing trip after lunch. C & C friends, Tim and Gabe arrived with their trailer and their son Dan and his friend Tyler.

Phyllis and Larry came out on Saturday and slept on our hide-a-bed. (Their dog Cara slept outside.) The fish were biting good but there were no keepers.

We headed back to Drayton for Sunday supper. The City Campground was full so we parked at Charlie's for the night. We blew a trailer tire on our way back from Buck lake, so we had to buy a new one and have it installed Monday morning. I did two loads of wash and we finally left town about 2:30 p.m.

We left Medicine Hat at 9:30 am. Yay!! Then, 1 1/2 hours out of town we realized we'd forgotten the cell phone. Boo!!  And so it was back home again. Not a great start!

We arrived at Drayton about 5 p.m. We setup, then headed to Charlie's for chicken breast dinner. Jim and Jan and Larry drove in from Edmonton. 

On Wednesday we did some shopping and visited Vera. Charlie and Carolyn barbecued a roast that evening..

We packed up after lunch on Thursday and did a load of clothes at Carolyn's. We helped Charlie load his camper and then headed to Buck Lake. Charlie and Carolyn joined us after Carolyn was finished work.
