*listen I know the campground comments are late to the party but I already had them typed out when all heck seemed to break loose on this thread so I am posting them - with the knowledge that maybe none of it applies cause we do not know where or even if the two murderers cleaned themselves up*
they get lake access upon registration at the gate - if they want unrestricted use, they can find access points down the street from the campground
day users still have to register their vehicle
perhaps but the night security who patrol would be alerted and definitely paying attention
if you look at the pictures, it is an obviously well-worn pathway or trail - to or from where I have no idea
phones have good flashlights on them; also someone previously said it doesnèt get pitch black there - more like twilight (we know Bryer had a phone at some point)
Are you from Alberta? Just wondering if you know for sure about the registering of vehicles? Anyone know this for sure? lol I was looking earlier today when it was being talked about and couldn't find anything. We have camped in Alberta before, but don't recall "registering" our vehicle, but we also made reservations. I don't think we camped in a provincial park either.
Saskatchewan is different. We can buy a provincial park pass for the vehicle, as long as you have that pass in the window, you are waved by, no need to stop at the gate. And like someone else has mentioned... although there is a gate there, when it's closed going in, it doesn't mean you can't get into the campground, we have arrived late at night before and in the morning, we go and check in.
Most campgrounds that I have been to... I would not question anyone going in and out of the washrooms/showers. There are so many campsites in some of these campgrounds, the thought of them being monitored is not even realistic to me. I have driven to the showers too lol Sometimes the site is far from them... and at night, it can be cool to walk back after a shower.
I also think they would less likely to be noticed in a campground then at a truck stop...
Just my 5 cents ;-)
