Pigeon Lake, AB

Zeiner Prov Pk
Site #15 (x4) p/w (on the Beach) water not potable

There were a lot of complaints about the cleanliness of the washrooms. We were lucky we didn't have to use them. Jim and Janet came out on Saturday evening for a visit. Larry and Phyllis also came and stayed with us for the night. Monday night was very quiet with only three units left on the front row.

Rocky Mountain House, AB

Canyon Creek Golf and Campground
Site #19 - #19 (x2) p/w

This is a 9 hole golf course and driving range with camping on site.  The Campground has nice well grassed sites. We toured about town and made use of the town laundromat. There is a nice Co-op available for shopping.

Bragg Creek, AB

McLean Creek Campground
Site #46B - $20 (x3) p only, showers - $1. (cold - obviously problems!)

We left the wedding site and headed to MacLean Creek. Greg and Kim came with us and Jeff brought his van. This is such a great campground with large somewhat private sites.







We spent time hiking and biking and enjoyed evening campfires. The kids all stayed until Monday. We drove G & K to catch their midnight flight. Ron and I stayed an extra two nights. Because great campground!

KESSLAR WEDDING - Bragg Creek, AB

Kiwanis Camp
Field Parking (x2)

This was a great little camp for small family gatherings. Jeff came in his van. Some people stayed in the Hall dorms. Richard and Heather stayed in a town hotel. (comments withheld re this!) Those of us with campers parked in the field where some power was available. Showers were available in the Hall.

The ceremony took place at the Elbow Falls park which was a beautiful spot. The reception was held back in the camp Hall.

Fun wedding, good times.

Calgary, AB

Symons Valley Campground
Site #43 - $21.40

We chose this campground in NW Calgary as it was the closest to the Airport where we would pick up Greg and Kim - coming for John & Chris's wedding.

Jim, Jan and John also stayed in their rented motorhome along with John's friend Jason and Milka.

Lethbridge, AB

Henderson Lake Campground
p/w/s - no fires

Your basic 'parking lot style' camping for overnighters. The Exhibition grounds are beside the campground and there were Chuckwagon Races taking place. Busy and noisy.

I was feeling sick and with the site being a big disappointment, one night was more than enough. We headed for home on Sunday. There is a great bike trail through the city. Something for another time!

Wasa Lake, BC

Hitching Post Campground
Site #19 - (x3) p/w, free wood

Campground was okay, but slightly unkempt and was full of mainly permanent units. There is a great bike path around the lake and we enjoyed a few rides.

We made a trip to the hot springs and we did a couple loads of laundry at the Motel laundromat that is available for campers to use.

It was nice except for the times it rained! Big surprise when Bob and Sharon contacted us and came for a visit. They had been in Radium for golfing.

Nelson, BC

Shannon's RV Park
Site #43 - $22 (X2) p/w/s (on the lake)

Well, we arrived in the pouring rain which kept up until late Tuesday afternoon. We did a bit of shopping and went for drives to keep dry. Free email available at the library.

Salmon Arm, BC

Pierre's Point Campground
Site #205 - $18 (Low season price x6) p/w/s

Nice campground on the Shuswap. The p/w sites were the best (1,37,100) although with not many people around, our site was okay. Unfortunately as we were to discover, there were trains. Also, EMCO had a weekend party. We moved to Site #2 hoping to distance ourselves from those noises!

Kari, Gerry and Jackson arrived on Friday, followed by Doug, Rina and kids. It sounds like Jackson screamed most of the drive, so not a very enjoyable trip for them! He is not fond of his car seat!  They rented a room near the campground, Doug's tented beside us and used the van.

The weather was not the best, but we had an okay weekend despite.

They all headed home Sunday evening but we stayed an extra night to give us time to pack up and avoid being rushed to check out.

Winfield, BC

Wood Lake Campground
Site #CC - $21 (x4) p/w

All stall parking, but this spot was angled on a corner, so not too bad. We were second row and had a great view of the lake. That is until people arrived on Saturday.

We came with a flat tire, so Ron changed it and bought a used replacement for $20.

Friday evening was spent at Dougs.

We went for a bike ride Saturday am and Doug and family came out for the afternoon and stayed for supper.

Sunday Ron and Doug went golfing and we had Sunday supper at Dougs. (Sick kids). We did some shopping and went for a drive tour on Monday.
