Rest in Peace Huw

Sadly, the reason for the Castlegar trip was to attend the Celebration of Life for Huw George, who I went to school with.  Like Cliff, Huw passed away much too early in life and will be missed by many.

Castlegar

Rainy, rainy trip down along the lake, and we wound up motoring through to Castlegar after not finding any campsites to our liking along the way.  Kootenay River Kampground (49.31485, -117.63497) was a gem, so we booked in for a week.

I love these shots. Makes the motorhome seem supernatural.  

Campground is just to the right of the pillar.  A few people were catching; I hooked a couple trout but didn't get any to shore.  Nice spot though.  

Along the road to Deer Park.  

Wendy's early birthday present.  Looks like she hasn't quite relaxed yet.  

Shelter Bay

After a stopover in Golden to visit Alyssa, off to Shelter Bay (50.637643, -117.924987) for a couple days.  Got the boat in the water, Wendy caught a nice (and tasty!) trout on a Wooly Bugger, and we got caught in a sudden squall that soaked us and forced us to leave the boat down shore a bit and walk back.  Great fun though, after we were warm and dry again.  And had that tasty trout in our bellies.
