A weekend with friends in Buffalo Pound Provincial Park was meant to be the grand finale of the camping season. This was September 10-13 and we ended up going away one more time after this. We love fall camping if we get nice days, and these last few weeks have been even nicer than usual. This park is already one of our favourites: close by, beautiful scenery and now in the fall, beautiful colours. It’s also a great time to roam around on the surrounding hills a bit (no ticks haha) and look for fossils from an era when all of this was part of a big inland sea<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camping with friends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We went to Trails End to join our friends Gord and Lorraine, and George and Laureen. We picked site #26, next to Gord and Lorraine’s spot. It was in the middle part of the campground that has a good mix of low vegetation and open areas. So it was providing protection and some shade, but you still get to see the hills around you. Besides hanging out in each other’s campsites and listening to nearby coyotes in the evening, we walked up the hill to find some fossils. I also picked a bowl of chokecherries for jam. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
