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...

As I mentioned in my last post, within a couple of hours of arriving at the Fraser Cove RV Park in Lillooet, I had booked a third night. I had lots to see and do in Lillooet and the area. The photos and commentary in this post are from...
