Greetings once again!! We have been having problems with our Blogspot. Apparently, when you enter another country, the url changes. Sorry this is late getting out.
We left Oroville at 8:30 this morning. We drove to Lac la Hache via Keremeos, Princeton, Merritt, and Cache Creek. We arrived at 4:30.
Our first challenge (minor) was gaining permission to enter Canada. We both got Washington Enhanced Drivers Licenses a few months back. So you would think answer a few questions (cash over $10k, long guns, hand guns, ammunition, etc) and be on our way. Not quite. Among other things, we were asked where we lived previously to Spokane for 20 yrs, if we own any hand guns, how many, and if our handguns are locked up at home. All in all it took about 45 mins to get across. Oh well, we will know what to expect on the way back.
We then drove through the mountains, along the Similkameen River to Keremoes. The mountains and river were gorgeous. We kind of understand why they call it Beautiful British Columbia. We drive on to Princeton (another beautiful region).
We stopped in Merritt for gas ($5.34/ US gal) and onto Spence Bridge. That 36 miles of road was windy, twisty, rough and took about an hour. We stopped along the Thompson River at Spence for lunch. A little R&R helped and the river was running a good pace and a bit larger than the Snake River.
We are staying at the Big Country RV park near Lac la Hache, BC. A comparison of the Oroville park to this one would be the Sahara Desert to the Lochsa River. This is a really nice park.
One other thing!! Jack Kidd and I have been talking about getting a backhoe attachment for our tractor. I think I found it. I tried it out and it works perfectly!! I plan to make an offer – hope it works out.
We will post our next adventure as we can.
Having a great time - but haven't seen any animals yet - only 2 deer, a dead racoon, and one drunk Indian!!.
