    In Pierceland we did meet some first cousins-once-removed. Went to the original homestead. The pile of rocks is what is left of the house. Looks like horses live there now.
    We stayed overnight at Maguire's Bridge Bed and Breakfast. Awesome place with very pleasant hosts.Les mer

    We spent the morning at one of Gerard's cousins, then drove almost the whole length of Meadow Lake Provincial Park.
    We stayed at a lovely place called Water's Edge Eco Lodge. Its got a very nice retreat feel to it and was just nice to hang out after a day of heavy visiting.
    Side note: I tried canoeing for the first time ever and it was pretty good. I am not a swimmer and unsure of the water. So this was a huge hurdle. Thanks Linda for planting the seeds for me to think about conquering my fears.
    Side note 2:Saw a bear as we were leaving the park but we didn't have a camera ready.
