On the way to Kelowna British Columbia.

Sep. 13, 2019

We'd made some good friends while staying at an RV resort in Tucson AZ and they invited us to come for a visit in Kelowna BC.  

After over a year of on again, off again preperation, the day finally arrived for our border crossing into Canada.  As they say "... it was a dark and stormy day...".  It started raining just before we hooked up the camper.

Going through the Canadian check point was a breeze.  It took about 2 minutes and the hardest part was remembering the tag number on the truck.

Weather didn't get any better in Canada.

Approaching our first stop in Cranbrook, the horizon looked ominous, complete with lighting. 

We had some clear patches but the clouds were never far away.

The red is what we had left before stopping for the night at Gladstone Provincial Park, blue is the next day's route toward Kelowna. 

Campsite 46 at Texas Creek campground, Gladstone Provincial Park.

First fall colors.

The main attraction at Gladstone is Christina Lake, one of the clearest and warmest in BC.

We stayed 2 nights at Texas Creek hoping to do some hiking but the weather didn't cooperate.  The night before leaving, we drove into town for fuel and stopped in the Christina Lake welcome center to use the wifi.  They had these cool 3-D floor murials.

Can you see where the floor meets the wall?

DON'T FALL IN!!!

Coming next, Kelowna BC
