Off to Canada to See Candy and Rick

Tuesday June 24th - Saturday June 28th -   (Days 386- 390)

Howie was feeling left out, since he couldn't make the trip to England with us. So, when our friends from Montana invited us to camp with them in Canada, he said we just had to go!
We joined Candy and Rick in Kelowna, BC, camping at the provincial park there next to Okanagan Lake.
The weather was sunny and warm for the first few days.




Candy and Harris used Bear Creek to cool the wine and the beer.



Our campsite by the creek which flowed into the lake.

The camper before us had left a lot of firewood at the site, so Harris decided to cook the chicken thighs over flames for dinner.



Candy and Rick had the salads and the wine!



The Okanagan area is filled with wineries. We stopped at one small one, and took this picture of Howie behind the vines.



On Thursday we moved a bit south and camped Kettle River Provincial Park, and the weather changed a bit as well. We got a bit wet on our morning walk!



Some of the campers had rigged tarps like this to get some protection from the rain.


It absolutely poured one day, and we even had thunder and lightning.



By the time we left on Saturday morning, the weather was clearing up. We decided to take highway 20 home, the North Cascades Highway, because it is so beautiful.












As we came down the westside of the pass, the weather turned gray and rainy again...typical! But it was a great trip...our first of the summer!

Total miles driven= 750
