So back to May 14th when we left the Boreal Forest behind us and finally got into the sort of country we expected to see in Saskatchewan!

As the afternoon wore on we were still the only people there and were getting more concerned about whether we were really allowed to be there at all. Finally Ernie walked back to the main entrance - a bit of a hike! and finally found a small notice that said only the 'North' campground was open and that there was self registration in effect there - we of course, were in the 'South' campground. Probably we could have stayed there, probably no one would know or care, but I have a thing about doing the 'right thing'....so we packed up and drove another couple of kilometers to the 'North' campground where we found the self registration station right away and picked a site...
There was no one else here either and nobody ever checked, but at least I felt better that we had paid our money and had a right to be there.....
This campground was a long way from the lake.....
an evening walk revealed not much in the way of birds....but there were Snow Shoe Hare
and this is a good time to talk about one of the things we found different about Saskatchewan Parks. I'm not sure I have it all completely straight, but apparently, in each provincial campgrounds there are a number of these 'Seasonal Camper' sites. Each year, a lottery is held for those who would like one of these sites (there are more who want them than there are sites available, hence the lottery) and then the 'winners' for a fee 'own' that site for that year. If they want they can park their RV there and leave it for the entire season, but even if they aren't there (as was the case here), no one else can use that site, even for a night because it belongs to them.....
