We visited the towns of Lac La Biche and Cold Lake today. A grocery resupply in La Biche and laundry in Cold Lake. They both gave the impression of being little boom towns, a small "older part of town" with lots of new shops and facilities grafted on the side. Lots of new pickup trucks and surprisingly large car dealerships.

After La Biche the boreal forest gave way to larger trees and lots of farm land, looks like grains and cattle feed.

For our nights camp we traveled a bit further east from Cold Lake into Saskatchewan and Meadow Lake Provincial Park. The park seems like it is closing. The water is off for the season, and all the buildings were boarded up, not surprisingly we were the only campers in the park.
