So here we are in July and I haven't posted in a week. Not much has happened! We left Kelowna on Tuesday and drove all the way north to Vernon (about 30 miles) and found a fancy RV park for the night. Right on Swan Lake in a large landscaped fancy site. Nice looking place, but the people staying there didn't seem too happy and weren't friendly, which is very unusual for RVers. Wednesday we drove up to Kamloops to find a spot to camp till Monday. Lovely drive cross-country through ranching country. Land here is sure a lot cheaper than on the Island! We are parked at the Heffley Creek Gun Range, about 10 miles north of Kamloops. It's leased Crown land, so very pretty. Nice quiet isolated area up a gulch so lots of shooters have brought their dogs and horses. All well-behaved friendly animals.

Thursday some of the ladies drove back into Kamloops to hit the thrift stores looking for costumes and fabrics. Turns out that this is a non-competitive team sport, and a lot of fun. We came back exhausted and loaded with parcels many hours later, fired up and ready to get dressed up! Wayne stayed in camp and cleaned guns. What fun!

Some friends arrived later from our home range on Vancouver Island, and not all the wives are shooters, so I have somebody to play with. At night our neighbor has a nice wood fire in the stove outside his outfitters tent, so we all sit around and tell tall tales. Temperature today is supposed to hit 30C, so we're looking for shade during the day. Gets cold pretty quickly at night though! We are camping in the lap of luxury compared to most of our neighbors here, and our furnaces and hot running water are mighty pleasant.
