September
14
We said we
wanted to be ready to go at ten and it was 10:02 when we pulled away. I figure
that was pretty good. It was cool this morning so we were glad that we had our
jackets.
The drive
was so very nice. The sun was shining and there was no smoke.The traffic was
light as well. Going through the Kelowna area we met 12 red lights and 17 green
lights. So Ken had to admit that it wasn’t too bad.
We stopped
in the Peachland area and picked up peaches and plums and grapes. The grapes
were so sweet that I am certain that would be illegal on a diabetic diet.
I could not
believe the number of wineries in this part of the world. A person could get
sloshed in a hurry just sampling the local wines in the various tasting rooms.
We drove to
Sicamous and that is where we stopped for lunch. The day was still warm and
very clear. We have stopped at this small recreation area before. It is perfect
because it is so easy to turn around a big rig. I made sandwiches and we
relaxed for a little while.
Then we
were off again.
It wasn’t
long before we began to see the mountains and got our first glimpse of snow.
These mountains are magnificent. Soon the mountain tops will be a brilliant
white with the new snow which will arrive soon.
We arrived
at Canyon Hot Springs around four. We will be here for only one night and we
paid for just one session in the Hot Pools. We were given site #159 and last
time we had site #162. There are only some places where you can park a 35 foot
rig.
We will leave in the morning. Google says we
are about 5 hours from Strathmore so that means it will be at least 7 hours if
not more. We plan to be underway by nine.
