Month: May 2018

On Sunday, May 6th – Day 11 of the trip – I arrived in West Kelowna and got a campsite in Bear Creek Provincial Park. That evening, we met Cathy at the Kelowna airport, and Part 2 of the trip had begun. Over the next month, We’ll wander from...

The Fraser Canyon still held my attention on Day 9 of the trip – Saturday, May 5th – with a dog-walk at Hell’s Gate and a good look at the historic community of Yale being the main points. We pulled away from the Canyon Alpine RV Park at 11:00,...

As I mentioned in my last post, I chose to use the Canyon Alpine RV Park & Campground as my base for exploring that part of the Fraser Canyon. It worked out particularly well, and telling you about it justifies a separate post. I arrived at Canyon Alpine, 5...

On Day 6 of the trip – Tuesday, May 1 – I drove from Farwell Canyon west of Williams Lake to the Redhill Rest Area south of Cache Creek, then did some exploring in the Tracker the next morning. Tuesday had started out very cloudy, and there was extensive...

This was my third annual visit to Farwell Canyon with the RV, after a high school friend bringing me here in 2015. The more I see of the area, the more captivated I am by it. The stark, spectacular beauty of Farwell Canyon, and the history of the Pothole...

Although I had planned to get some work done on the RV in Dawson Creek on Saturday, April 28th (Day 3 of the trip), that didn’t work out. As a result, I was away early, with no real schedule for the day. I’d just see what was happening along...
