Site #19,#22 - $32 (x5), p only (yr round pass), Temp 23C
We made it through the Regina congestion and construction (holy, slow!!), had a quick lunch at a pull off in Wolseley, picked up a few fresh veggies at the Whitewood Coop and now we are comfortably set up in Moose Mountain Prov Park on Kenosee Lake.
It was a little upsetting to get all leveled, unhooked, the barbecue and stove set up, only to discover that there is still a Reservation system in this park and we just happened to be in a reserve site. S*** We had just paid for 2 nights at the self-serve registration kiosk and missed the fine print.
So, it was off to the Park Administration office back down the road. The computer was checked and we were told we could stay that night, but the site had been online reserved for the following night and we'd have to move.
Of course the few remaining 'first come sites' were not so nice. Note: This park has close to 300 camping sites, but after Labour Day, all but 30 are closed. So forget the reservations already!! Anyway, no sense grumbling. We headed back to the campsite, went for a bike tour and enjoyed an evening fire. At least the wood is free here!
As luck would have it, someone pulled out of one of the nicer 'first come' sites on Thurs morning and we quickly moved our chairs and bikes over to hold the site. We finished breakfast and by 9:30 we were moved and settled in three sites over. The sun came out and our world was bright and happy once again. :)
We had another great bike ride today. There is no denying that Fall is coming as we are seeing the leaves changing colour. Tonight was steak night - yum! and we enjoyed another beauty evening at the fire, under the stars, listening to the coyotes and the loons.
I think we just might stay for the weekend. We are a little undecided about next week. The weather is not looking so pretty.
