After Labour Day seniors' rates at p-rovincial parks are discounted by 50% so we had to take advantage. Also there are no reservations so we snagged a waterfront site at Horsefly Lake Park. We were joined by our friends Mark and Mark. Mark's wife Leah was working but drove all the way out in the evenings to join us. (She saw 4 bears on the way to work one morning!)
The weather has definitely taken a turn toward fall. We only swam once after our morning run. It was chilly in the mornings, but we were able to have a campfire in the evenings after a spell of cool, rainy weather..
We did the usual stuff, hiked up to the viewpoint:
Look Ma, no smoke!
And we played numerous rounds of bocce ball. We watched the squirrels and chipmunks cavort about.

We also hiked up to Viewland Mountain.
At the summit.
Pretty good views despite the clouds.
The Marks went home after 2 days but we stayed another night. We were rewarded with a sunny day. We pumped up the inflatable and paddled around the lake for a bit.
We walked up to the viewpoint again.
Familiar view:
Still no smoke
I just love the hike through the birch forest.
