Now that Meadow Lake and the river are open, Airfield Lake has become a ghost town. I’m planning a trip to Meadow Lake every month to stay connected with the place. When I get there in November, it’ll have been a bit of a headbanger in recent years. Airfield Lake used to close at the end of September, but now it’s October, which works well for here but not for Meadow Lake. I’m on the back foot before I even start, so this year I’m trying something different once the first week of the session is over.
I arrived at the gates of Airfield Lake around 13:30. After checking the weather, I had no idea where to go. One thing was certain: I needed shade for the next three nights, with temperatures reaching the mid 20Cs. That’s cold for some, but too hot for others, especially in direct sunlight.
