TRIP TO RADIUM HOT SPRINGS |
|
This where we turn off to head to Radium Hot Springs down hwy 95/ |
Our first signs of wildlife - a coyote |
The main building to the Radium Hot Springs pool. |
Joe looking for someone, anyone, to talk to in the Hot Springs pool. |
No one else to talk to, so Joe leaves the Hot Springs pool. Quite a large pool. |
Mountain sheep just ambling along the highway. Apparently quite a common sight. |
Wow more wildlife! A deer along hwy 93 as we do a day trip to Lake Louise. |
Had to stop to see what this sign said, so had to take a picture of it. |
Hector Gorge - lots of water due to all the rain and snow run off. |
We are always amazed at how beautiful the snow-capped Rockies are! |
Made it to Alberta on our way to Lake Louise along hwy 93. |
More beautiful mountains. |
One of the many wildlife overpasses along hwy 1. |
Mother and cub eating dandelions. Apparently they like dandelions. |
This would be fun with Périgord but we did it by car. |
Another interesting road, as you go west on hwy 93, into Radium Hot Springs. |
Our site at Radium Valley Vacation Resort. |
I found this plaque, in 'downtown' Radium Hot Springs, about the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. |
A nice sculpture of the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. |
That is one large beaver I found in 'downtown' Radium Hot Springs. |
Walking the dogs in our campground came across these deer. |
Okay, okay, enough of these strange rock formations. Saw these as we were heading to Castlegar. |
Awe, just one more. |
Downtown Creston. Looks a little tight for Périgord but Joe did it. |
A beautiful mural in downtown Creston. |
Kootenay pass in the middle of June!!! |
Looking down into Castlegar and the Columbia River. |
Our site at the Castlegar Golf & RV Park |

Visited Nephew Jason & Julie in Slocan Park near Nelson. Kenai, the malamute on the left. |
Grand-nephew Nick on the ATV. |
Saying goodbye to the family. Jason, Julie, Joe, Nick. |
Nick saying one last goodbye. Lots of space to run around on the ATV. |
On the way to Penticton on hwy 3, a runaway lane for trucks which we hope to never have a need for. |
Coming down into Osoyoos down Anarchist Mountain. Osoyoos Lake. |
In Penticton the White Spot had Just burned down. What will we do now for dinner? |
What's left of the White Spot. One of our favourite places to eat while Périgord is being worked on at Midtown RV. |
TRIP TO SEASIDE OREGON |
|
We HATE the I 5 route south. |
Even with Mt Rainier to liven up the scenery! |
"Form line astern" ... going over the Columbia River ... it should have been Canadian, but history .... sigh ... |
They make the Cabs smaller in Seaside so they add an extra chair ... just in case? |
Great idea, I think!!! |
We were on a mission of food ... where can you get the best clam chowder in Seaside. Norma's Restaurant is certainly in the race! |
Now, their clams were spectacular!!! |
Elsie loved the prawns ... Ah ... the importance of food in our lives! |
