Maintenance & Restoration

Is there any interest in an informal meet on the weekend of the 26-28 in September?

I'm planning to head out that weekend for one last time beore putting the Bigfoot away for the season. A few people I know locally with fiberglass trailers would likely be interested in joining in.

Open to suggestions for location as services may be important for some people and I know some of the serviced campgrounds may have already shut down their services by this time. Perhaps the west country? Or somewhere towards the east if any SK people want to join in? I guess it really will depend on what area people are coming from.

As a new fibreglass camper, I wouldn't mind depending on location. I'd be travelling from Whitecourt.

Hi Lainey

You can add us as a "maybe". John does not know his work schedule until the last minute. We would prefer central or north as we are west of Edmonton. Also, a site with power would be nice.

There aren't too many options at this time of year with power. Here's a couple of options:

My first choice would be Miquelon Lake Provincial Park (about 50km SE of Edmonton). They have their water & showers operational until the end of September, the off season camping is in A loop, some sites are powered.

Pembina River Provincial Park (105km W of Edmonton) has some powered sites and is open until the end of October (pay showers).

Crimson Lake Provincial Park would be another option, however their power is shut down by Sept. 15th.

I also still have to run these options by the people from here yet. If they have some other ideas I'll post those too.

I'll be at Pembina Park this weekend, they got new hot water heaters for their showers this spring and I also heard some other upgrades. I'll let you know if the fishing is any good.

I spent a night at Crimson Lake in early July, the campground and facilities were great, lots of powered sites but the lake was a bit lacking.

Another option is Carson Lake in my own back yard, with the new Eagle River Casino only 10 minutes from the campground. Not bad fishing for stocked trout along the seawall, no boat required. I think water is shut off end of September, some sites stay powered year round.

my $0.02

If we are available, any of those would work great for us out of Edmonton. Power/water is not important for us.

If it`s a go,I`ll try for that weekend off. Power is not a concern. But having someone to back up the Boler is

I can help you with that Lynne, and I'm sure the others would be willing to give you a hand if I'm not around. No worries

Northish is good for us. We would LOVE to come if that weekend stays available for us. Can our friend bring her Li'l Loafer? Or is it too dreadful of me to even ask?

Did I see this little yellow sweetheart comming from Jasper way on Canada Day?

Guillaine · 08-24-2008, 08:08 PM

I would love to come but unfortunately I am working that weekend!!
Would be nice to meet others with bolers from the Edmonton area.
Will have to wait and try and make another time.
Hope you all have a great weekend

We might be interested, depending on work schedule. Would anyone else be bringing kids?

Awe, it would have been nice to see you. Next time!! Maybe we'll have to make this an annual event!

My 10 yr old will be coming along.
Some of the other people I invited that are not active on the site would also be bringing their children which would make for 7 more children if they all come out. What age(s) are your children?
