We left camp on Wednesday morning ( Sept. 3), headed for the village of Nakusp. Our plan is to get to two more hot springs in that area. We’re starting to see more haze from smoke in the air. It means we don’t get such nice pictures as earlier in the trip. This drive included a ferry across the Lower Arrow Lake.
The ferry ride is only about 5 minutes and runs on a cable back and forth between sides.
Our campsite is in the Nakusp Municipal Park for the next three nights. It’s a nice shady site, but we won’t get much sun to charge our solar.
Wednesday night we headed to the first hot spring – Nakusp. It is definitely small but water temps were good and it wasn’t busy.
The next day, Paul headed out to scout some trails on his bike. Despite the literature we had, the trails were only suitable for mountain biking. We enjoyed some quiet time outside. That night we headed to Halcyon Hot Springs. It is much larger than Nakusp, but still not busy and the pools had good water temps.
On our last day in Nakusp, we ate homemade pizza sitting around a campfire. It was a nice evening to be outside. We haven’t had a lot of opportunities for campfires due to fire bans, so it was nice to enjoy it when we could.
On Saturday, it was time to move to our next location. It was still hazy from smoke as we made our way to Christina Lake.
More to come as we arrive at Gladstone Provincial Park.
