trout crossing on may 2-4 weekend

the KVR bridge over trout creek


Patrick and I decided to check out the princeton-summerland road this may long weekend. of course, we took the long way there and explored a bit. The princeton-summerland road also happens to cross the kettle valley railway a few times, and would have been a great bike ride, if my bike hadn't of been damaged in a bit of an accident (NOT my fault).


the campsite


The camp spot was right along a raging creak (trout creek presumably). The site was nothing incredible (it was also right along the road), but we hiked on the KVR, visited a random midnight rave i found out later was Whompstock, and had a great time. Next time, i'll make sure my bike is safe, and we'll have a go of it.



KVR


words of advise: watch out for conservation officers. they usually mean no harm, but they delay things a while.

nakusp, our 1st time

i'd never been to nakusp before, so to check out the targa west rally with my wife seemed like the perfect reason to visit. The drive was great. we went through cherryville and crossed arrow lake at the needles ferry. a free 10 minute ferry ride. good times.



We stayed at the lodge up at the nakusp hotsprings. The hotsprings came in handy when i had the most brutal twisted ankle/foot cramp ever on day 2. barely slept at all, so we missed the rally. it was the weirdest pain ever, let a foot cramp that you let get away on you. hotspring mega helped, but i felt like i was in the movie cocoon.



we did get a chance to hit almost a dozen geocaches, spend some time on a few huge deserted beaches, and walk though the bush to the site of the original nakusp hotsprings.
