We stopped in the town of High Level this morning to get fuel, groceries and to see what the local visitor information center could tell us. The visitors center contained a small but interesting museum displaying relics of the past. As with a lot of these types of displays we both learned things - for example that washing day was the same day as pasta making day so that the starch from the pasta could be used to starch shirt collars - and saw things that we recognized from our own childhood - another hand operated cream separator.

The town of Peace River marked a change in the landscape from endless spruce and aspen forest to farmland interspersed with forests that were predominately aspen. We took a secondary road that followed the river south for some miles, before it crossed the river on a ferry and rejoined Alberta Highway 2 south.

We stop for the night at Winagami Lake, the wind was blowing strongly but that did not inhibit the millions of tiny insects that wanted to get into the Tiger, our eyes and everywhere else.
