At last, it’s warm and the skies are clear and blue! The drive today on the Yellowhead Highway (16) was an easy 196 miles. No frost heaves and no gravel patches, a real highway at last. Only problem I encountered was when a throw pillow fell off the couch and bopped me on the head. I woke up with a start and spent the rest of the drive sitting in the safety of Kathe’s lap. The road had a lot of ups and downs and steep grades, so I had a good view.
We checked into Pipers Glen Resort at about 3:30 and the temperature was in the high 70’s. At last, it’s warm and dry! We have been told that this area is the desert of Canada.
The Campground is okay, we are overlooking Fraser Lake. Only problem is that the train runs along the lakeside in front of us and the highway runs behind us. Well, only here one night so we don’t mind. Here is a picture from the front windshield, not too bad!
We heard today that the Provincial Park we stayed in a couple of nights ago with all the bears has been closed indefinitely due to too many bears causing problems. All of the campers were told to leave and had their money refunded. We were lucky we were there before all the trouble.
Tonight's cocktail was a peach daiquiri made with fresh peaches from the Okanogan Valley.
