Monday we woke early so we could catch a ferry across Kootenay Lake at a specific time. We knew our travel that day would be slow and we aimed for the 9:50 ferry. We made it without difficulty so we didn’t have to wait until the next one which would have been over an hour later.
The crossing was just over 30 minutes and then we had lots of narrow, twisty and turning roads requiring slower driving. The low clouds stayed with us much of the day, along with cool temperatures. It didn’t get much warmer than 15 degrees C.
As we arrived at our campground for the night in Sparwood, we had a bit of drizzle. However, our campsite was large and we were able to stay hooked up, so there was minimal set up.
We were back at the same campground we stayed at 2 months ago when we arrived in B.C. Many of our campgrounds will be the same as our trip out across Canada.
Tuesday morning we woke to sunshine and promises of warmer temperatures. We also had less than 200 km to drive since we were stopping in Lethbridge for the night to meet some friends for supper. The road was much better and the drive went quickly. We made a stop for fuel and groceries before we arrived at the casino where we are staying in the parking lot for the night. We enjoyed our visit with friends and will head out tomorrow for Saskatchewan.
