| Frozen Turquoise Lake. |
We timed our camping at Twin Lakes well because as we were leaving this morning a man was putting a sign up for fees! Memorial Day Weekend I guess (still not sure what it means, but apparently it's a public holiday). A stupid thing with lakes here is that you are charged a $5 or $6 usage fee for the state park. We don’t have a boat, we just want to stop somewhere to have a snack! So we took a few photos and took our leave, heading back up north. Our aim was Turquoise Lake, but when we got there the lake was frozen! It also meant we couldn’t camp at the site I wanted, as the road was closed, probably due to snow! We drove around a few places, but the campsites were all closed. We saw some people in a bus-type RV parked in a day-use area with their folding chairs out, so we figured we’d copy them! So we went to another spot a bit further along and pulled up for the afternoon. We went down to the lake and walked all over the snow and frozen ice right beside it. I tried to throw a rock in the actual lake, but I couldn’t throw far enough L. We collected a little bit of firewood, then headed back up to Betsey, where we read all afternoon and enjoyed the sunshine.

| Action shot: throwing snow! |
The spots where we were all had fire grills, but they were buried in about two feet of snow, so we drove a couple of hundred metres away to one that we could fully see, with a non-snowed-in picnic table. As we were pottering around getting dinner ready, we saw what I thought was a dirty, white-ish yellow wolfie! He walked around Betsey maybe ten metres away and looked like he was going to come towards us, but my brave man scared him off (before I could get the camera). I thought it was a wolf, Will though it was a fox, but since then I’ve decided it was actually a coyote!!

More The Goodwife after delicious grilled burgers (again). No one came to move us on from our free campspot, which was nice!
