Day 8 - May 21st
It rained all night and was very cold. Luke said it was approx 2° when they returned at midnight. As it was raining, our first day of skiing was put on ice (no pun intended).
We awoke to see that some of the tents had suffered from there positioning with the rain. Still being a construction site a lot of the dirt had started to turn to mud. We dug trenches around our tent, but most of the others had to be moved. After the drama we bummed around in town, checked e-mail and did a bit of window shopping. We planned to do some ice skating in the afternoon, but once we arrived we found that the ice rink was closed. Bummer, so we came back to the campground and did some washing. At one stage we tried to get a tarp from under one of the tents but had a heap of difficulty. It was not until later that we realised that Werni was sleeping in the tent at the time !! oops. The forecast for the night was -3° so we cranked up a good fire before heading to bed.
Back to Canadian Parks West Page or on to Day 9.
