Crawling Valley, Bassano, AB

Crawling Valley Campground
Site # - $30, p only, wifi office - poor, phone only

Well we high-tailed it out of Bow Valley and Canmore area because of Wednesday's forecast -- A high of 4C and nights showing minus numbers. Yikes.

We pulled in to another first for us campground at Crawling Valley Reservoir just north of Bassano. A really nice campground. There are a number of seasonal campers with boats. They come to fish on the Reservoir. We are told that all fish are available here, but you can't keep them.





The weather was decent when we arrived and we biked about. We sat out for cocktails while cooking dinner, but the wind came up and chased us indoors. It was another evening of me beating... I mean us playing Sequence.

It rained during the night and on and off Wednesday morning. And it remained windy. And chilly. It was a sad decision but as we looked at the upcoming week temperatures, we made the decision to head home tomorrow. (We had paid for 2 nights here or we may have headed home after 1 night!!) However, Ron did get a morning walk in and after lunch we drove out to see the Bassano Dam. We were impressed to find out it was built between 1910 and 1914. Pretty remarkable!



Thursday it was back home to wet and chilly (7C) Medicine Hat. We won't winterize as we still hope to spend a weekend or two and maybe Thanksgiving in a park. Somewhere.
