Fairmont Hot Springs, BC
We've had a nice visit here and will be moving on tomorrow morning. The weather's cleared up and we've had several fabulous days in a row with cool mornings, light breezes, sunny skies, and don't-need-the-air-conditioning afternoons. My sunburn is almost over its painful stage. The Rover is fixed and should be returned to us early next week. Life is indeed good.
The RV park was almost empty when we arrived last Monday after having been full to overflowing over the Victoria Day holiday weekend. I'd say it's about 30% full now; as people started arriving Thursday evening, I expected it to fill up more over the weekend but it didn't pan out. The only reason we had to move when we extended our stay is that they have a convoluted process of assigning a site when reservations are made as opposed to at check-in, and if someone's scheduled for that space and you want to stay longer, you've gotta move. I've got to imagine that they'd cause themselves and their customers a lot less work if they did it like almost every other RV park in North America, but what do I know.
Today was a relaxing day. Geri did a couple of loads of laundry, taking half (bedding) to the park's machines and ding the rest on board. She decided to take the waters one last time and headed out from the coach just as a couple of park staff were out exercising some of their horses, so she sweet-talked them into giving her a lift. I grabbed a picture, but Picasa's not talking nice with our satellite connection right now, so I'll post images later.
Tonight, we'll grill some steaks, quaff a nice Cabernet, and ready the rig for travel. Tomorrow, the adventure continues...
