Younger Gramma: More Camping...

Had a great week in Cold Lake at the Provincial Park. Arrived in the rain but it did clear up and the air was fresh and things dried up quickly. Always nice to have a fire. We were able to create a 'triple level fire' as the base is quite large, and has a two-tired grate - so of course we had to try it!

Triple decker fire

The paths within the park are wonderful as well - very long - and wide so could keep our eyes open for the 'bear in area' which was posted and the 'droppings of same'! He was everywhere!!!

Beautiful paths

There was a boat launch area but not a swimming area - you had to drive to the beach in Cold Lake if you wanted to do that. But the boat launch was nice - although it was overcast the afternoon we were there.

Fishing rod and reel with us - but no fish!

We went to the Cold Lake Marina and enjoyed the warm weather one day and all the beautiful boats. Took in lunch at Clark's restaurant across from the marina. We all enjoyed their clam chowder soup!

Beautiful reflections

We also went to the airbase to watch jets take off and land. It was not as busy as we had hoped but there was still the thrill of 'anticipation'. A few helicopters helped make the afternoon special as well!
