round and round we go

Writing on Stone Prov Pk
Site #21 (x3) p only, Temp 18C

NOTE: no cell or internet but both available at Interpretive Centre

We had hoped to try out some new camping spots on this trip, but so far, that hasn't happened. It's been 'same old same old'. Our tried and true places are where we have ended up. Part of that was because of the weather, but also we haven't wanted to stray too far from home this trip.

And so we landed at Writing on Stone Prov Pk.  The same campsite we were in last year in September. When we had the feral cats hanging about and we awoke to snow on the picnic table one morning.  Thankfully no snow this time around.

We certainly got our fill of aphids. In our drink and in our food. They are everywhere and impossible to avoid. And wind. We are somewhat protected in our site, but man... blow your hat off wind today.

In the calmer late afternoons we burned a lot of firewood. Ron hiked the hoodoo trail while I made use of the cell service and Internet available at the Service Centre on top of the hill. (No cell service in this campground.)

Swallow camp out

We have discovered that Albertans continue to camp right up until Thanksgiving, and maybe beyond (?) This place was nearly filled for the weekend with families. As the campsites empty out today, Ron is making his rounds looking for that leftover firewood.
