A great place, but I really like this photo. It looks like an Edward Hopper painting.
9 months agoHey, you stayed at the same place we did!
9 months agoThanks, Kathleen.
Yeah, working in education was great when we had kids in school but lousy once they'd finished. It was compounded for us because, although Al had just as much vacation time, he couldn't take more than 3 weeks in the summer while I couldn't get away except in the summer.
I really enjoyed your journal! We were hiking and kayaking in Manning Park in September, and were lucky to get rooms at the Lodge. We decided to stay an extra night (we had booked three back in July) and we’re stunned when they told us they were fully booked through to early October. We had thought we would have the place to ourselves.
Your comment about fall travel made me smile too. We drove to Lloydminster Alberta (Keith’s has family there) in September, the year I retired. I was blown away by how gorgeous it was. It was then it dawned on me I had never seen it in the fall because I was a teacher. Great career, great time off, but no fall travel!
I can't wait either! Next year, maybe.
3 years agoLooking forward to following along on this trip once it's okay to travel. You're going to love the lakes district and the incredible dolomites. Glad to see you enjoying our beautiful province.
3 years agoI’ll never advance beyond beginner on a mountain bike. This is a beginner trail.
3 years agoI would have walked there too!

Have you ever stayed in Oliver? I was thinking it might be a nice base for a few days when we drove through on our way to Nelson.
