If they’ll let me, I might even join their library. It’s housed in a fantastic facility and the modern layout also reflects the northern community’s roots and ideals. The library has a great area for children that is bright and colourful, fun and interactive.
It also has a section set up for men to visit, cleverly designed and visually appealing. A highlight though is the massage chair. So much thought has gone into designing the Zama City Library, it rivals facilities in much larger communities. There is a fishing pond at the campground, so the girls decided to try out their luck. They had no luck until a very kind and well experienced fisherman happened to be there, and he took the time to show them how to fly cast. The fish were suddenly begging to jump on the rods. It was so much fun, watching the girls learn, watching a kind stranger teach, making connections with complete strangers and enjoying some time together. He even gave them each a hand tied fly to take with them, a tangible reminder of a perfect memory made.

We also did some geocaching in the area, found, and left some treasures. We also discovered the Free Little Library, left books, and took books – such a fun way to share in the love of reading.
We visited The Patch, found some treasures, including a laser cut wooden bison kits that the girls stayed up painting and assembling.
It’s the place to stop in town for a visit, some groceries and to see and purchase local art and souvenirs. We then enjoyed touring the town and completing the rest of the Rumble Alberta and History Check App challenges, getting to know the area just a little better.
We were sad to leave Zama City, having fallen in love with the forest, the bison, and of course the friendly folks who made our visit perfect.
As we left the community the girls and I were treated to another sighting of the bison, it felt like the perfect way to say not goodbye, but see you again soon. CL
Callen and I woke up at 2:00 AM to photograph the aurora. While we couldn’t see it with the naked eye, the camera did, and we got some great exposures.
