... Halt einzulegen. Der älteste, noch erhaltene, Passagier-Schaufel-Raddamper der Welt, die SS Moyie, steht hier.

Danach sind wir dem Kootenay Lake entlang zu unserem Campground gefahren. Der Provincial Park hatte einen wunderbaren Sandstrand, der uns doch zum Baden einlud. Bei diesen warmen Temperaturen war das wirklich eine Erholung.

Hello,
We've been so busy I didn't think I'd ever get back to this.
My friend bought some land close to Slocan Lake and invited us down for the long weekend, so of course we went.It turned out to be a wise decision since the temperatures climbed to 40 degrees C. I'm not sure but I think that's around 100 degrees F.
The lifesaver of the weekend of course was the beautiful lake ...

... time, I was off the road and hidden...blah blah blah... We got split up. And then it started to rain. In desperation, in Nelson, I grabbed the the first hotel room I found and just radio'd the co-ordinates to Shawn. What a great place! The Hume Hotel, in Nelson BC. It has a fantastic feel to it. The place is old, and dark, and wood paneled and just awesome. Tomorrow morning, if possible, we'll get some photos in the daylight. They won't do it justice. If you can, come ...

Got the Greyhound from Kelowna into Nelson late last night, but still had a little time to look around. In the stunning setting of the west arm of Kootenay Lake, the city of Nelson sits largely unoffensively in the valley on the South-Eastern lakeshore. I use the word 'city' here loosely, as it is technically a city, but with a population of 9,000 it's not exactly epic by European standards.

There was a complete lack of franchises in the downtown area, which i guess is done ...

... in half and log rolling and all sorts. By the time we got to the motel i crashed straight away. The next morning we went to Ainsworth hot springs....It's a naturally heated pool in the caves that sits at around 40 degrees...boy was it steamy...Then when you come out of there you are meant to jump into the plunge pool which is 9 degrees and holy **** it's a killer. I only did that once before i ...

So we went on a little family holiday it was amazing! mum dad and the kids started driving on sunday at 6am wooo we had a sweet coffee to wake us up and then we headed into the mountians to start our 6 hour adventure! on the way to Kaslo where we saw logger sports we saw many cool things including; 3 moose, 3 deer, one gofer, we bought fireworks, saw snow and played in it, saw the US boarder but none of us took our ...

... We'd heard they were the best hot springs around because they were in the most natural setting, overlooking the lake. The hottest pool went into a cave network in the rock and you could swim inside and around in a big loop through the caves. It was fun but we didn't stay in that one too long as it was like a sauna with the steam rising as well. We were able to cool off in the "glacier plunge pool"! Not far up the road was ...

Well we're coming to the end of the ski season so we though we'd make the most of John's laptop before he leaves tomorrow and upload a few more photo's and things. We've had a fantastic season with lots of powder, lots of visitors (Blair, Steve, Suz, Luci, another Steve, Brook, Marcus and Helen) and lots of good times. We've even managed a couple of road trips ...

... Adam to Balderdash, my favorite board game, one night. (That's the game where everyone creates fake explanations for obscure words, historical dates, or movie titles, then tries to convince everyone else that his false explanation is the actual one.) We had a great game. In the final round, we had to explain a movie title, "On The Third Day," and Johnny made a brilliant comeback to beat out Adam for the win. His definition: "A brief documentary on ...
