Site #A26 0 $36 (-10%), p only, Internet cost, Temp 8C
Revelstoke was certainly on the chilly side. We started a big campfire about 4 p.m. and snuggled close for warmth, but by 7:30 we were inside with the heater going full blast. A neighbor was telling us a bear had visited the campground the previous night and had ripped open the big plastic garbage bin. It has now been replaced with a metal bin. Obviously bears must normally not be a problem or I would think they would have had a bear proof bin to start with!
It was -3C and there was snow in the ditches coming through the Rogers Pass and again near Field where we pulled off for lunch. It's been a long time since we had lunch on the road. We are usually set up in our campspot by lunch time! Today, however, we travelled 360 km to Kananaskis Country north of Canmore.
When we stopped in Golden for fuel this a.m. we were only able to get 1/2 a tank. Petro Canada has a 'fuel ration' and we apparently had used up our quota!!?? I couldn't believe it. We had to stop again in Canmore at a different station!
It was a late set up today with the time change, plus the road construction and the slow downs through the National Park. We went for a bike ride when we got here (actually a wood hunt!) There was a skiff of snow on some of the roads in the more treed areas of the campground -- brrrrrrr and we didn't find any wood.
We are registered for 2 nights here. This is the most expensive place we have camped at $36. for power only. Man! Ron did get the gray hair discount of 10%, but still, it's getting a bit pricey!
THURSDAY, 16TH: I missed sending the email from the office yesterday. They closed at 5, not 6 as we thought and I didn't get the internet password.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREG & JEFF !!!
