electricity, free firewood, free showers and a super private site. It
was very odd driving there, everything is flat and all of a sudden
there's a downhill slope and you see the reservoir. The lake is pretty
big too, with plenty of walleye and pike according to the signs.
The park warden was from Temiscaming and he was happy to speak French
to us. Nice guy. As a matter of fact everyone is extremely friendly
here. I think I said that already but it's quite obvious when you
cross from Alberta to Saskatchewan and even more so when you get to
Manitoba. Not that everyone is crusty in Alberta or anything... It's
just they tend to not talk to strangers as much.
We met a couple in one of the many A&Ws we stopped at and they started
telling us all about the trips they did together and how for their
anniversary they would like to find a bus like they had and go back to
where they had gone as newlyweds. This was all standing in line
waiting to order. Hee hee. Francis promissed we would just keep Lucy
that way we wouldnt have to find another 71 van in 50 years! :)
Speaking of A&W, Francis is extremely excited at tge number of stand-
alone drive thru A&Ws in the west. I'm just impressed at the lack of
other fast food giants. A&W has a monopoly here almost. No McDonalds
in the small towns. Besides, A&W is all about keeping things vintage
and supporting cruise nights in small towns so I don't mind them one
bit.
We just passed Foxwarren and are heading towards Winnipeg today.
Beautiful weather for driving. It's about 24 and sunny. More updates
later.. I hope the return to work after the long weekend wasn't too
difficult for you guys :(
