Friday Sept 13 - Creston to Radium Hot Springs
 |
| Good morning campers |
After a relaxed breakfast we went into Creston for gas and found the best sign ever... LOL
Can't help feeling sorry for the Livestock!!!!!!!!!
Still a little confused about
times, we headed out about 10:00am or 11:00am , depending on whose watch we used,
and started out to Radium Hot Springs. Another Beautiful drive and Derek and
Janice split the driving evenly today. It was a shorter drive and we stopped along
the way to enjoy some great scenery. After a bit of confusion in Radium Hot
Springs we found Radium Valley Vacation RV Resort and checked in. Quite the
place.. it is a resort with condo homes and purchased RV lots. However the
facilities are great and we got a lovely site with views of mountains. The two
Dereks went for a swim in the pool, and we cooked up some pasta and sauce for dinner,
walked around the resort and then watched some TV before bed. Great day again. We are totally enjoying have our two traveling companions sharing our journey with us from Vancouver to Calgary.

Saturday Sept 14th - Radium HotSprings
 |
| Oh Yes.... warm and relaxing |
Today we had another lazy breakfast and then set out for the Hot Springs in the Kootenay National Park. We purchased an annual National Park Pass so we have flexibility and can enjoy many more Parks across Canada.
The Pools at the Hot Springs were superb and we all enjoyed a great soak in the hot water, followed by a dip in the cool pool, followed by another soak in the hot pool... We all felt refreshed and relaxed as we headed out, and drove through a bit more of the park and stopped for a short walk at Olive Lake... such a beautiful crystal clear emerald green lake. Quite breathtaking. We then realized we were hungry and noticed it was getting on for 3pm so we raced into town and had a (big) lunch in town. Feeling full, but satiated, we picked up some supplies and then relaxed back at the resort, chatting with neighbours and catching up on blogs/emails etc.
