Being on the road and boondocking in remote places doesn't make it easy to use the internet. We arrived to the Kentucky Alleyne Provincial Park and decided on a spot. It wasn't much later that Derek, Teresa and Cassia showed up to welcome us. The park is a beautiful spot and we were parked right on the edge of the lake with a great view. All the sites are primitive, no water, no electric. There is a water station in each loop so if you really need it, it's there. What a great park and what a great job they have.
The first night, Teresa invited us over for dinner. She prepared Pad Thai, very delicious. We sat around the campfire for a short spell and then headed home. It was cold and windy. We slept really well and we had no neighbors. We were dreading Friday as it was the start of the weekend and the fishermen come up from Merritt. Not an issue, our loop was very quiet and only a few campers.
On Friday we fixed breakfast for everyone and later that day went for a hike with the family around the lake. Pretty cool to see a five year old tell you what plants and animals there are and can point things out. She is really growing and gets prettier every day. Rufus came along on the hike and I think he enjoyed it more than anyone else. He loves to run on the trails.
In the evening, we headed back over to their compound for a great campfire. We didn't get home until after 10:30. Saturday morning, Juan and I took a hike around another lake and before we knew it, we had been gone over two hours. Time to pack up and head out for Colin and Contessa's place in Kelowna. It was a lot of fun and it was hard saying goodbye to them. Good thing is, we may see them this winter in Mexico!
We made it to Colin and Contessa's around 2 p.m. When we left Derek and Teresa, we were low on gas but we sailed in to West Kelowna with a little fuel to spare. I think we are going to leave Canada after we visit Kevin and Ruth and travel through the U.S. entering back into Canada in Ontario. Fuel is ridiculously high. From one side to the other the difference is as much as $2 a gallon. We will then continue on to Quebec and Nova Scotia.
