After staying the night at Kokanee Creek Prov park which was very pleasant we headed for the town of Nelson.
It is the wellness centre of the Kootenay with more organic/vegan/vegetarian cafes and shops than in our NZ Nelson. The day was very cold about 10deg and rainy so we visited the local museum and art gallery. It was in a heritage building which Nelson has many and really well done. A photo exhibition of the "Doukhobors" settlers was very interesting along with the history of the area.

The courthouse in Nelson
Nelson had a good selection of quality outdoor / hiking stores so we both had fun buying some summer sandals which we needed for Australia. What else do you do when there are no hot pools about, shoe shop of course!
It was time to find a spot for the night and I had read about a place by Duck Pond Lake near Creston. It was a nature reserve so we finally found it after some time. It was in the middle of nowwhere in a valley and our only visitor was this fellow.
