Today, we are going to Algonquin
Park 8:00am . After 2:00pm
(check-out time), we make the rounds again to ensure that anyone due to leave
that day has departed. Once again, we report any problems to the office, as we
have no authority to enforce any rules. That is a good thing! It is the
Warden’s responsibility to follow up on any concerns.
It will be an interesting 2 weeks, since we only have
electric hook-up, no water or sewer. Rather than carry a full tank of fresh
water (104 gallons), we will fill up on arrival at the park.
We were packed up and on the road at 10:30 , which was only ½ hour later than planned. It is a
chilly, windy morning with the temperature hovering around 2C (35.6F). Shortly
after starting out, it started raining and continued until we stopped in Huntsville
We arrived at the Mew Lake Campground office at 1:30 and received our instruction regarding
our duties as Campground Host. Then it was off to our site to get settled in.
The skies cleared and it stopped snowing while we set up.
However, once all set up, we realized that we forgot to fill up the fresh water
tank! So, we pack up, hook up & head off to the Sanitation Station for
water. It is still windy, cold & snowing.
Finally, we are back at the campsite & settled in. It
was 8C (46F) inside, so on went the furnace! Then it was off to make our rounds
of the campground to check that anyone that was supposed to leave today has
vacated their site. It is about 4.4 KM to cover the campground. The snow flurries continued as we made our way
around. Fortunately, we didn’t encounter any problems on our first day.
It was an early night tonight, since there are no TV channels! Guess
we’ll catch up watching DVDs.
