The following morning we set off for Hinton and the drive out of Grande Cache was very picturesque as it is surroundered by the Rocky Mountains. We drove past quite a few lovely
spots by rivers and forests where people had camped for the long weekend and where they were able to ride their ATV's. They certainly "camp" in style over here - their RV'S are huge and have all the comforts of home.
At Hinton we drove into an "oldies" permanent mobile home park thinking this was an RV park and this caused a bit of a stir - we certainly know how to get the oldies excited. A friendly lady eventually worked out what we were asking and directed us to the local campground where we queued for quite sometime behind a long line of RV's to get into the campground. We noticed that the RV's would slowly move forward and then after sometime appeared to come back out again. Twice I got out to ask some guy if this was the campground and he said "yes" and that there was no quicker way than wait your turn and then self register. After about 3/4 of an hour and at Jim's suggestion, I got out of the van again and walked further down the line to see what the hold up was and was told by a lady that this was the queue for the sani dump for the RV's!!! Fortunately we were able to get out of the queue and drive into the campground where we had a lovely spot amongst the trees. It was close by a busy railway line and we saw many freight trains during our stay. We lit our first campfire that night and were prepared to sit and read in the warmth but it started to rain so our fire was wasted and it was early to bed.
