Up early and let dogs run again in the pasture. I got my long pants on and walked out there with them. They both really enjoyed the freedom of it. Gabby had her nose to the ground and kind of went far afield. We tried calling her, but she didn't respond so we started walking back. When she looked up and checked on us and saw us walking away, she came bounding through the weeds....it was funny...Kudzu had already done the same thing altho he did not get quite so far away.....we worry a bit more about him b/c he is getting so hard of hearing. After the run and breakfast we decided to backtrack a bit and headed back up to Robson Provincial Park in B.C.
At the visitor center, the walk to Kinney Lake had been highly recommended so when we got to the park we checked it out and decided to walk it...supposed to be fairly level...150 meter elevation gain which is not bad. Picked up a couple of Snickers and water for the trail....turned out to be 4.5 km walk which is about 2.5 miles (one way). I almost gave up on it....the walk was nice as it followed the river up to the lake. Where the trail was close to the river, it was very cool. Other parts of it were kind of hot. The lake itself was very pretty, but again the water was high and we had to either wade or make our way around rocks, etc. when the trail was submerged. The lake itself was very pretty and at the base of Mt. Robson. A beautiful setting....There were lots of big trees along the trail....cedars, hemlock and spruce....and lots of bit logs in the river. The good thing about Canadian parks is that you can take your dogs with you as long as they are leashed. Gabby and Kudzu enjoyed the walk I think - however they were tired when we were done....
We finally made it back...I was exhausted!!! On the road on the way out we saw a black bear cross the road. I was in the back of the RV so I just saw the bear and did not have a chance to get a pix....Jerry said she had 3 cubs w/ her and I did not get to see them at all...
Continued driving down the highway to Birch Island B.C. and Birch Island RV park....kind of a rundown place, but they had water and electric although I did not trust the water as there was a boil water notice posted there. The camp host said the problem had been corrected but the sign was still there....Got to camp about 7 p.m. and I was so tired I never even got out of the RV.
