Another beautiful Sunny day after another very cold night. We are pushing on to Kootenay Lake today, but we have a leisurely start watching the resident dog eye up the chipmunks. We passed through Rock creek and on to Grand Forks The road was often steep and winding but lovely views.
After Lunch we continued to Lake Christina , a popular holiday resort as the lake has beautiful sandy beaches and shallow water safe for swimming, with deeper water further out for boating. Then we are back on the road and still climbing. At one point we stopped for a break and we could see the road bridge high above us about ten minutes drive away. Another stop at the Brilliant dam and finally we arrive at the Kokanee Campsite on Lake Kootenay. Our address here is 79 Porcupine way. The campsite is enormous but each site is shaded by trees and fairly private. Still no fire ban so it is not long before the fire is going and we are ready for a meal.
We are staying here tomorrow and will explore the area.
We are now 720km (450 miles) from Vancouver.
A lapwing at Lower Test nature reserve
Silver studded Blue in the New Forest. These butterflies are so small and very rarely stay still for long.
