Wasagaming to Lake Audy

We were up early this morning to head over to Lake Audy Campground.

While Mike & Al stopped at the dump station to empty the RV tanks, Symphony & I drove our cars out to Lake Audy. I used our Garmin gps for the trip and Mike used our laptop to follow the route out to the campground. We took Hwy 10 south from Wasagaming & then followed Hwy 354 to the entrance to Riding Mountain National Park - no wrong turns this time.

We arrived at Lake Audy about 8 a.m. and was relieved to see that no one had taken the 2 campsites that we wanted. Mike had seen a photo of these 2 campsites in a brochure and thought they were perfect. Symphony & I sat in her car while we waited for Mike & Al to come in the RVs.

Mike & Al arrived a little before 9 a.m. We are on site #14 with no hookups, but the best view of Lake Audy. We parked the RVs facing each other so each of us would have the best view from the windows.

Lake Audy Campground is a self-registration campground. We filled out an envelope with our information & site # and paid $47.10 CAD ($42.67 US) for 3 days.

The weather was nice when we arrived this morning - sunny and blue skies. After setting up our RVs, we all went for a walk around the campground. Since it's still early in the camping season, there are only a few people here.

Our biggest problem was how to get a photo of our campsites as viewed from the lake. Imagine our good luck to see 2 kayakers out on the lake! Mike explained to them  that we had been trying to figure out how to get some photos of our campsite viewed from the lake and they said they would be happy to take some photos for us. Jack & Bonnie are from Calgary and are staying just a few campsites over from us.

Jack & Bonnie each had a camera and they both took photos of us from their kayaks. Later on this afternoon they came over to the RV and we downloaded their photos and movies to our computer. They stayed a while and we all had a nice visit - a great couple. We would have liked to visit with them longer, but Jack & Bonnie are leaving tomorrow.

This afternoon the dark clouds and rain moved in and we had rain off and on, but we have one of the best campsites ever!!
