June 18, 2013 - Meota, SK to Buck Lake, AB

     We set out from Meota about 9:00 AM this morning and take the route through Turtleford.  We had never been that way before.  The drive was not very spectacular and pretty flat.  Lots of oil pumps. 

     After fueling up in Lloydminster we carry on to Edmonton where we pick up Richards' mother's dining room suite at Larry and Phyllis's place.  I don't know how he does it but he manages to unpack and repack the back of the truck to fit everything in.

     We met Charlie and Carolyn at the junction to Rocky Mountain House and they guide us into Buck Lake Provincial Park where they are camped.  The weather is cloudy but no rain, yet.....

     Carolyn has brought a taco salad from home for dinner and we are joined by Kenny and Colleen Holgren.  After dinner we all go out fishing for some walleye.  Carolyn pulls in a 50 cm keeper and one throw back and I catch 2 throw backs.  Charlie and Richard get skunked!

     I have developed a sore throat and I'm feeling a little tough.
