Today was a nice and relaxing day off. I slept in and had a nice pancake breakfast before taking a drive to Prince Albert National Park with the Harveys. It was a nice drive through forests and past lakes. We stopped at a few popular lakes and a lookout with a good view of the area.
In time we arrived at Waskesiu Lake, where we stopped and walked around the lakeside tourist and cabin town. It was a pretty nice area. We also stopped into a small wildlife museum that had some interesting displays (see pictures). We stopped for some lunch, and later I sprung for a delicious ice cream covered in toppings. Ive been really enjoying getting to eat massive quantities of food on this trip.
On the way out we encountered about nine elk right beside the road. We were able to pull up right beside them because they were so calm, so I was able to get close up pictures. Ive never seen elk before, so it was cool to get so close. A minute later down the road there was another group of eleven off in the sparse trees about 25 meters away. Im impressed that there were so many of them together.
I fell asleep on the drive home, and then had a nap back at the house before supper. I still feel quite tired however. Another great meal and dessert and it is almost time for bed.
I am quite thankful to the Harvey family for taking me in, feeding me so well, and taking the time to show me around the area; it was a nice ride.
Tomorrow I will be heading down the secondary highway 16 and in another 2.5 days I will be in Manitoba!
