Day 10 - Clearwater Lake Provincial Park

The train back to Thompson was not a minute shorter, same 3,5 hour delay. The 550 km distance is accomplished in 20 hours. That makes an average speed of 27,5 km/h. There was no severe weather or whatsoever so this seems to be the usual traveling time of this train.
Next night's stay was at Clearwater Lake Provincial Park, which is known of it's - guess what - clear waters. On the way there, not too far from Thompson on Hwy 6 is Pisew Falls, which looks like a smaller version of Niagara Falls. There is a suspension bridge close to the fall, sponsored by the Thompson Rotary Club.

Taking Hwy 39 and then Hwy 10 we eventually reached the campground quite late. Fortunately at 9:30pm there is still daylight here. Surprise: the showers were coin-operated and the park office was already closed. I was lucky I had enough loonies with me.
On the way we spotted a black bear crossing the road. Yay, first one! He was fast so no chance to catch a picture of him. He looked back at us half scared half curious while running for the trees.
