At Prince Albert National Park

We had a pretty lazy day today. After a late start we went out for a drive around the park and the nearby town.

The town (Waskesiu) is quite touristy, with an amazing quantity and range of rental accommodations. We didn't expect it to be this much of a resort town. The Park itself is sort of what you'd expect from a northern Ontario provincial park. Fairly low-lying, lots of trees like Black Spruce, beside a large lake system.

The town is somewhat dressed up for summer festivities:


We roamed a bit, and got a filet of Walleye at a nearby marina for tonight's supper. Stopped at a lovely stream:

That's Cathie on the left

On the way back in to the campground we encountered some nice elk:
It was warm enough all afternoon to relax on our site, so in between walks around the campground roads we read our Kobos and relaxed. Very few bugs around, a nice bonus.

We'll be heading out tomorrow, expecting to be at Cathie's sister's place sometime Friday.
