We spent the night of June 18th in Rocky Mountain House, AB and then headed to Whitecourt, AB the next day. Roads are good, some trees but mostly farm country.
We arrived at the Whitecourt Lions Campground on June 19th. There are lots of Lions Campgrounds in Canada, they use the proceeds to fund their projects. The campground is nice, each site sits individually in the surrounding trees. Shortly after we arrived it started to rain, and continued to rain for most of our one day stay.
Phil and Nita present a certificate of appreciation for going above and beyond to make our stay as great as possible. Even though we were only there for one night, our hosts, Lena and Don arranged for some of our group to tour the local Saw Mill, then we were to have a pizza party (that the caravan paid for) in the Rotary Park, complete with a visit from the Whitecourt Mayor.
The rain didn't let up though, in fact, it just rained harder and harder. The Lions Club representative, Cyril, seen here with Lena and Don, came to our rescue. He is also on the board of directors of the Forestry Interpretation Center in Whitecourt, whose
building was right across the street from the camp-
ground. So, he opened the doors of the Center to us,
Lena had the pizza delivered to us there, and the
Mayor even came to the new location! After we had
our pizza and the meet and greet with the Mayor,
Cyril set up the film for us to watch and allowed us to view the rest of the center. We had a great time!
