Revelstoke

Greetings  from a cool and wet Revelstoke.  We arrived to find cool, misty weather.  They tell us there is only one more day of this grey weather and then the sun will come out.

Our first day, we decided to go to Mount Revelstoke Park.  As we climbed the steep grades to the top, it got very cold and was in the 30's at the top.  We hiked around a lake in the snow while Walt snoozed in a warm truck.  Soon, we were headed back down the mountain and we found a spot to sit and have a picnic lunch.  It was breath taking scenery this day from the overlooks showing the Columbia river down below.

Soon we were back in town scoping a good coffee house.  We found one and enjoyed a good cup of coffee to warm our bones.  It was a good day and we had fun.

Day two took us to the local vet for Walt.  He was having trouble with his feet and needed a toe nail clip bad.  We had stopped at a pet store and got some chewable pills for his hips which were working great.  He got his manicure and the doc looked at his leg.  He got some stuff for his leg and we were off.  It was clear today and the sun was shining bright.  It was warming fast and highs were forecast for the 90's.

We headed north and went to the Revelstoke dam.  It was fun, but they wont let you even take a camera or purse inside.  It was a nice time, but nothing like the dams in WA.

In the afternoon, we headed for the train museum.  We spent alot of time here looking at all the neat artifacts from the steam era of the Canadian Railway.  Back for another coffee and we chilled in the very nice park we had found.  We located a riverside walk and got our exercise there the one night.  Walt went a ways and then chilled while we continued.  There was a dike walk right at the RV park and this provided a nice and long walk for us.  Later in the evening, we sat in the main street area and listened to music for awhile.  As we listened, the heat and exercise were catching up, so off to bed we headed.

The next morning we packed and headed for a four night stay at Radium Hot Springs.  I will try to catch up as we stay at places with the internet.  Goodbye for now.
