Chilling and fishing!

At the Lake we met many interesting locals,all blokes who loved to fish. Lloyd became friendly with one chap who turned out to be a well known old ice hockey goalie. His name was Ivan Mclelland and he is a member of the BC Sports Hall of Fame. He had a fascinating story to tell about his career. he also gave Lloyd several fishing flies which worked well and Lloyd proudly caught his first Canadian trout. The next day we met others and enjoyed a campfire and local red wine with Gary who could also tell a few stories.



The weather had been sunny but as we are high up there was a cold wind so we packed up and headed back to Penticton. We needed to fill up with gas and propane and empty our other tanks.This is all part of RVing as well as food shopping which Lloyd does not enjoy. He of course did not have to do this at home!!!
We headed to the vineyards and had a great tasting at Ruby Blues and topped up the cellar before going to Okanagan Lake Provincial Park for the night.
