Spring birch leaves
We had some things to finish this morning including turning in the plates for Graeme’s car, paying the balance for our kitchen countertop, and depositing the cash for Graeme’s car. It was close to 10:30 by the time we left PA and drove to the national park.
The old highway 263 is in poor condition near Emma Lake. The road in the park itself is much better. We got to Sandy Lake just about noon and found that our favourite site, #7, was available.
After lunch we took the canoe for a short paddle. Since there were heavy dark clouds to the west we didn’t go too far but did paddle about 5 km before heading back to shore. The storm moved in slowly but when it started raining around three pm we got a heavy downpour that lasted until after supper.
Once it cleared we went for a walk in the evening. Just a few sites away is another retired couple that Enid worked with many years ago and we visited with them for a while.
Sunset on Sandy Lake
There was a very nice sunset this evening to close off an excellent day.
