Was-up? at Wasa Lake, BC

What a great three nights at Wasa Lake. Good company, a pretty setting and the weather was decent. No snow! The nights were pretty cool but our catalytic heater takes the chill off. That's how we roll when there is no power available.

There is a great bike path around the lake and we did some bike tours about the community.

We went on a 1 ½ hour, 4 km or so, hike up the hill behind our campsite. That was the most hiking/climbing I've done in many years and I was pretty proud that I was able to keep up. We were treated to some lovely views at the top.

We picked up a couple little treasurers at the local flea market and we managed to get away with a light sentence for good behaviour.

We found these 3 locals quite entertaining as they frolicked about and put on a little performance for us. Mr Llama was not to be trusted. He liked to spit! The donkey was pretty sweet though.

On Friday we drove to Kimberly and checked out some of the local tourist shops. Things are pretty quiet in this town between seasons. The skiers are gone and the summer crowd has not yet arrived. We didn't leave too much of our money behind.

So yes! Fun times, busy times with the walks, bikes, campfires plus "happy hours" and yummy meals.  Richard and Ron kept us well supplied with wood, pine cones and pine needles to keep the home fire burning.

We got lucky once again. Two of those nights were free as the campground and showers weren't officially open. We did pay for our last night (Fri) stay, but it's been bargain camping to date! Then there was this free pedicure thrown in! Perfect.

We were on the road by 9:15 am. with a quick lunch break in the Pincher Creek Coop Parking lot. We are spending tonight at Cardston with full hook-ups and wifi. It will give us a chance to 'charge up', stock up and empty our tanks. Ron, Richard and Janice are headed to the Remington Museum as I type. I opted out this time. Been there, done that!

 The weekend crowd should be gone from Writing on Stone which is where we will head tomorrow.
