Castlegar and back to Alberta

We stopped off at the Kootenay River RV Kampground (49.31492 -117.63522) for a few days.  This place has become one of our favourite campgrounds since we stopped here for a week last summer.  While in Castlegar we stopped by to see our friend Bev as well as Susan and Ken.

While in Castlegar I also got some education on diesel pushers, including learning the hard way how to best change a fuel filter.  Don`t believe everything you read on the internet or in the engine manual.  Nuff said.

From Castlegar we stopped for a night at Yahk Provincial Park (49.08136 -116.09567) and for another one at Parson (51.02716 -116.54302) before crossing back over to Alberta and back to Kathy`s driveway.  All in all a pretty good shakedown trip for the new motorhome and a good start for me in getting used to the differences between a gas coach and a diesel pusher.  I`m a lot easier on the brakes now that I have the Jake figured, and I sure as heck know how to change a fuel filter.  I also learned that I can fit the Tuscany into a lot fewer sites in provincial campgrounds than I could squeeze the Bounder into.
