Another update from Valemount

Too bad this 'perfect spot' is marred by an abundance of mosquitoes. Gah.. such annoying beasts. They are huge!

We did a bit of a town tour and saw a bit of the surrounding area. Back at home, we lit the fire. A rental unit showed up and checked out the spot next door to us. They introduced themselves and asked if we minded them camping beside us. They were a really nice couple from Germany who were on their first visit to Canada. They spoke amazing English. Ron lent them our axe and helped chop some wood. Plus they made use of our WD-40 on their squeaky door! We joined them with wine in hand after dinner for more visiting. They came back to our fire for roasted marshmallows and made s'mores. This was a first for them and a tradition that was unknown to them. What?? You mean it isn't a world wide custom to roast marshmallows over a fire??

Tomorrow we plan to check out Switzer Provincial Park north of Hinton, AB. Another new place for us to explore. We will miss our river front site though.

Rules say not to move the picnic tables. ummm....okay then??
(for those who travel with a crane maybe?)
