DAY EIGHT, Gregg Lake Campground

So, I'm going to start this with another plug . . .  Everybody should check out thebeardedladyproject.com   It is a great film and exhibition piece set up to raise awareness of women's contribution to science, specifically paleontology, and the continued presence of misogyny therein.  It involves a scholarship fund for women in STEM.  So, please check it out and DONATE.
Another 71 miles done.  I was exhausted last night. After eating a fine dinner of Spanish brown rice with quinoa and corn, I crashed hard. Not the case today, the last 11 miles had some tough climbs, but otherwise it seemed like it was mostly downhill.  The profile said it was roughly even with gains and losses for the day. 
Anyway, I finished my trip through Jasper National Park and have spent the last 8 miles or so in William A Spitzer Provincial Park.  It seems to consist of some very green foothills, wetlands, and lakes. 
I arrived at the campground I just had to stay at around 2 and enjoying a sit by my lake despite the light drizzle.  I mean, come on, Gregg Lake!?  How could I avoid it's allure!?
Oh!  I saw my first cow and calf moose, today.  They really are awkward looking creatures.
