Took a little drive south from Radium today and visited several of the towns along highway 93/95. We drove to Canal Flats first which is a little town that is dominated by a huge lumberyard and mill. We had to stop so Mike could take video of the logs – sometimes I wonder about him. We tried to find the provincial park that was on my map but I guess someone moved it cos it wasn’t where it was supposed to be. We stopped for a while on the way back north at a spot overlooking the Columbia Lake, the views were amazing. Windermere was the next stop, it was right on Lake Windermere but access to the lake was mostly restricted to the residents; an ideal place to live if you like boating but not such as ideal place if you are just a visitor.
The final stop on the way back to Radium was Invermere, which is also on Lake Winderemere. Invermere is a much bigger town and has lots of public lake access and even a ‘beach’. We stayed for a while in a little park right on the lake, very relaxing. There were very few people at the lake, which was quite surprising considering the beautiful sunny day we have had.
Had a nice walk around the camp site this evening and saw a deer sitting behind the tennis court just minding its own business. He didn’t bat an eyelid when we walked near him although he did watch us closely; maybe he was just waiting for someone to play with.

Mike: Becc tried to blame Nell for losing the park, but I think some developer
built houses on it. There were lots of logs!
