Hello from Hardisty, AB

Hardisty Campground
Site #10 - $32, p/w/s, free wood, no Internet (town Library), Temp 19C

Jim and Jan came for coffee this morning.  We said our goodbyes and we were on the road by 11 am.  We always enjoy time spent with them.  Plus we learned a great new card game.  Hopefully we will win more money on our next visit!

Every camping trip we like to check out new camping spots that we haven't stayed at before.  Today, after one missed turn and one wrong turn, we checked in to Hardisty Lake campground south of Wainwright.  It is a really nice little park on the west side the town on a very small lake.  We were quite amused with the sign posted at the park entrance.  Only 3 boats are allowed on the lake at one time.  Gotta wonder how that one plays out? 

Only 3 motorized vessels are allowed on Hardisty Lake at one time.

The disappointing thing is that there is a fire ban. One of those campgrounds with free firewood and a fire ban in place. I'm beginning to think the two go together. Also, I'm guessing that they must have missed out on the rains last week. Once again we made use of our propane fire pit.

We have paid for two nights. Tomorrow we will explore the area further.
