Waterton. The changing Landscape

We were lucky enough to get out to Waterton this past weekend.  It was exciting because they just reopened Cameron Lake Road.  We were excited to get out, but equally excited to see what had changed with the flooding.  Not to be disappointed, there were some obvious changes.

I never noticed this flow before.  Now... you can't miss it.

Some spots were more dramatic than other, but you could definitely see the differences.  The last pictures are around Lineham and the berm is quite obvious.

The road itself will need some paving as well and there is a section that is still single lane.  Regardless, it means people can get out to do some cross country skiing and snowshoeing this year.  I was a little jealous when I saw Tom MacLachlan. and John Verhagen out.

Instead, we made a snowman.  A sweet snowman!

Still Snow

Last weekend we managed to get out snow-shoeing with Dora's folks.  It was a nice outing and good to find some snow.  While the mountains have a ton of snow, the prairies seemed to be lacking this winter.  No complaints, but pretty impossible to do any winter activities around town.  It was fun to see both boys out on the snowshoes and of course, they did spend some time getting pulled by dad.

Somehow we didn't take any pictures of the cool snow cave we built.  I guess we'll have to try again next year!
