Mountain Hound Inn Nelson

... 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.

... are translucent and grow in little clusters. Every walk revealed something new and if it wasn't so hot we probably would have walked more.
We didn't know until the day we were leaving that Huckleberries grow prolifically in this area or we would have endured the heat to pick some .....they are so delicious!
In the spot the deer picture there is only the shadow of his head visible ...

... one of my favourite quotes of the day..."Yep, I think I'm gonna buy me a motorcycle too. Mebbe just a little 250. I don't really want a motorcycle...but I think mebbe I'm gonna buy one just to **** off my woman!" Hahahaaaa...cracked me up, that old man :-) Thank-you! We rumbled outta there, cooled by the mountain stream, and also by the drizzling rain (rain!) that started to fall. We didn't even get enough to get wet, but it helped with the heat a little. I had a problem ...

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 ...

Hello, Well here is a run down of what i did over the last 3 days. We drove around 5 hours North and stayed in a small town called Balflour it was very scenic on the lake which is massive. On the drive there i saw my first Moose! this was soooo exciting! I was so excited i didn't even think about a camera i was just in awe at the fact i was actually seeing a moose. I thought that was so amazing but ...

... were all almost asleep we heard mum (leanne) screaming BEAR BEAR theres a Effing BEAR just there, so papa smurf (neil) slammed on the brakes and before he knew it the seat belts were off and everyone was out the doors ignoring the fact that he told us to stay in the car cause itll kill us! we got the the side of the road and watched it eat the grass, it was only a little baby grizzly which meant its mother ...

... take a walk into a town that feels like our own, and spend the entire day studying. While Eileen was studying her school work, there was constant research to be searched... Many a new fact and essential knowledge was discovered in this two weeks. As well, I finally had the time to tackle the mysterious world of "video editing"... I put together some footage and pictures from our time here in Nelson (from ...

We just passed from Alberta into British Columbia and the sun is tiptoeing over the horizon. She kisses the very tips of the mountain tops brightening their color into soft shade of pink. The wedding of the lush green pines and soft beige sandy giant rocks remind me how spectacular nature's pallet is. I rested deeply while Joey drove all through the night bringing us safely into the light of ...

... He was referring, probably, to how I'd gone out to try and earn money selling golf balls while we stayed at his house. I'd made our first enemy of the trip. A lot of people in Canada had told us how we were going to love being "out West" so much. But, this negative experience was just: THE WEST IS WACK, EVIDENCE # 1 - Brian, our WWOOF host, was a wacko. Brian could've said something to me earlier if he'd had a problem with my golf ball excursions ...
