Glowing Embers Campground - $18.
This is a well kept, clean campground with nice washroom facilities and a store. However, it is basically just stall parking in a large open field with no trees and no campfires. Therefore, a stopover place only.
There were many large US units with their satellite dishes staying in this park.
Our American neighbour had problems with the levelling jack's on his motorhome, so Ron lent him our truck to go pick up the parts that were needed. I think he was quite shocked but very pleased with these trusting Canadians.
Saturday evening was Trish Fiissel and Rob's wedding and our reason for camping at this Edmonton spot.
On Sunday we attended the gift opening, then headed on to Drayton Valley.

Danielson Provincial Pk
Self registration - $17.
A rough road and a rough drive, but a really nice campground. It was not very busy. Most of the campers were fisherman with boats.
We walked along the river where Ron found a 'spoon' and a hook that he gave to our neighbor. He and his wife then dropped by with 1/2 a jackfish filet which we enjoyed for supper.
They stayed for a drink and a visit. (Jim Anderson, retired, from Saskatoon.)
On Saturday we drove to the powerhouse at the Dam site and stopped at the park restaurant which featured a display area re the building of the dam. A bit of a storm blew up, but it passed over quickly.

Wakaw Lake Regional Pk
Site #121 - $12.
Round 2 at Wakaw. We had super nice weather for the weekend and we were not relegated to the overflow camping this time!
Ron had brought his golf clubs but he didn't use them. (I'm sure he would appreciate a golf partner but...)
We mostly just went for walks and relaxed around the evening fires.

Pike Lake Provincial Pk
Site #32 - $17.
It's camping time!! - Our first outing for the 1997 season and we were off to a 'new-to-us' provincial park.
We had a really nice site in this great little park with a nice beach area.
We went for walks, although it drizzled on and off through the day.
The weather was cool at 5-8C, so we made good use of the electric heater.
The truck was working well after having the catalytic converter removed.

Rosthern, SK
Valley Regional Pk
Site 7E - $13.
This was a nice little campground beside a golf course. The shower facilities weren't the best, however, it appeared they might be building new ones.
The weather was chilly and we ended up using our electric heater.
There was a "glo-ball" tournament taking place on the golf course. We could see flashlights and hear talk and laughter when we sat around the fire.
This marked the end of our camping season for 1996.

Wakaw Lake Regional Pk
Overflow - $12.
This was nice campground with a great beach. However, it was very busy. We ended up camped in stall parking in the overflow area.
We enjoyed walks about the campground. They have a large area with permanent full-time campers. They had built decks, fences and planted flower gardens.
We played some bocci ball.

Asquith. SK
Eagle Creek Regional Pk - $10.
We headed to the park on Thursday. My birthday!
Ron drove in to work on Friday and I spent the day reading outside. The weather was hot and there were very few campers in the campground. Most enjoyable!
We played some bocce ball and read books. A nice relaxing weekend.

Manitou Regional Park
Site #121 - $12.
Ron had his first poor backup experience and took out the sign post at our campsite. We just re-planted it. ;)
On Saturday Ray and Frankie Finlay drove up from Regina with their motorhome.
It was cool and rainy all weekend. We made good use of our furnace. A good weekend for Canasta and card games.

SK Landing Prov Pk
Site #63
We chose to camp at the Landing so we would be close to the lake and could pick up our camping gear from out of the tent trailer. Also the Lake lawn needed mowing.
There were canker worms galore at the landing. They were hanging from the trees and coming in through the vents. ugh.
Mom and Jerry dropped in for a visit.

The First Night
Back to Medicine Hat for the big purchase and the pick up.
We bussed to Swift Current and picked up Jeff's 'new to him' Chevy S-10 that was purchased from Jerry. We drove the truck to Medicine Hat for Jeff where Jeff would pick it up the following weekend.
We arrived in Medicine Hat with our bedding and we spent our 'FIRST NIGHT' (!) in our 'home on wheels' parked in Mike's driveway.
We had fun shopping for supplies at Mike's Consumer's Distributing store where we picked up pots and a coffee maker. New dishes were purchased at Superstore.
Ron actually impressed everyone (including himself) with his first back-up parking job.
Our first long distance towing was the drive home on Sunday, May 26.
