Last of Camp 2016

Kinbrook Island
Site #C113* good site! - $36 p only, cell
Note: Water until after Thanksgiving. Reservations still in use

We had a good stay at Lake Newell. We had an endless supply of wood as the park was cutting down trees in a loop beside us. Ron picked up a couple of logs from there.

He also found a pallet in another loop so he took his axe, cut the boards and hauled it back on his bike.




The fall colors and the sunsets are always beautiful in this park. Plus the weather was warm enough and we were able to sit out for some later fires. 

We always enjoy biking around the campgrounds and the cottage area.  They are adding a number of new campsites and have been working on the beach front.  Huge boulders are being piled along the boat launch to stop erosion. It was a little noisy with all the equipment running, so we were glad they took the weekend off.

And then it was Monday.  We debated staying longer, but we decided it was time to head home.  It's a tough choice when the weather was warm and sunny, but some areas are expecting snow on Wednesday, so maybe it's time. Even though this area looks like it might be okay.




One thing I forgot to mention. You've heard some of Ron's 'scrounger' stories and how he always checks campsites when people leave. Well, back at Prairie Oasis he found a partial pack of Smirnoff Ice coolers when the group of boaters had packed up and left. I really enjoyed those 7 bottles! Sometimes he really does get lucky!

Anyway, that's it for camping 2016. It always makes me a little sad to bring out the antifreeze for winterising.  And just look at these sunsets!!

BACK HOME:  Some good news.... Our roof was just completed this morning! Yay!!
