So this is us on our way
back to Kimberley after a really great weekend... but there was more to
see...
On the left is the sign telling you to put
your watch ahead one hour and on the right is what is known as the
Pioneers Graveyard
We took a wee diversion to see a very nice wee
lake complex that was almost burned to the ground
Here you can see just how close the fire came
to the houses. Even so the next picture will show you that the fire did in
fact leap over the lake
But you can see how attractive the lake is and
some of the houses right on the shore
And as we left the lake we decided to quickly
pop into the nearby park where you can camp or take your RV
You can camp in the woods or down by the shore
and as you can see there is a wee jetty where you can put your boat out
onto the lake
Picture on left shows each camping area has a
bench seat and table and BBQ unit
Lots of signs around :-)
This was a really nice spot at the river that
runs into the lake
You can see the table provide for those mini
BBQ's
And two interesting pictures to finish. One
showing folks walking their dogs and the other is Ron doing a balancing
act :-)
And as we got back to Kimberley I took a photo
of the new sign they'd just put up and on the right is the picture of the
old work shops of the Cominco mine. And I think it was around 9.30pm when
we got back.
So there you have my weekend
out and about and my many thanks to Ron and Anita for organising it all
for me. They were excellent guides and looked after me very well
indeed. I did suggest that they should take this up for a living :-)
And finally here is a map showing most of the
area I've been travelling around while I've been here |
