Itinerary:

Pigeon Lake is a great little hidden gem in central-eastern Alberta. Come on out - we'll make a weekend of it camping at the Provincial Park and doing... well... doing whatever we can in early November - we'll just have to see what the conditions throw us. There are options for cycling, walking/hiking, cross-country skiing, quading. Feel free to join Brent and Rhonda on what we want to do, or grab some folk to join you to do what you want to do.

Brent and I will be in our camper van - bring your camper, or the heartier outdoorsfolk can winter camp (like, in a tent). Camping at the Provincial Park is first-come-first-serve this time of year and there are no services (ie. electricity, water).

We will leave a note at the check-in desk with information about where we are, and/or aim to be in spot B47. Cell service works in the area as well - call or text if you have any trouble finding us.

We will aim to convene around the campfire on Friday evening for some visiting and planning. If you miss us on Friday evening, we'll reconvene on Saturday morning at 9:00AM at our camp site for more visiting and planning before setting out for the first activities of the day.

If you want to do any kind of sharing - transportation, accommodation, food, gear - please indicate that in your notes. State what time you can leave on Friday. We will do our best to match folks up accordingly, but no promises.
