Kamloops and Lac le Jeune June 13-14

Time is running out, we need to be back in Vancouver in 4 days time.It has flown by really, the days do just roll by when you are travelling like this.
Kamloops is a large town/small city maybe the size of Whangarei. Its on the Thompson River and in a valley. We managed to get haircuts there and did some shopping before leaving and staying at a free camp  about 20kms away. it was the sort of place you would only stay for 1 night and move on. We had decided to go to Lac le Jeune Prov Park for the weekend as the weather was supposed to be good.
The park was laid out so most sites had a view of the lake and as the area had been infected with the pine beetle badly they had cut down all the large trees about 10 years ago and the new growth was therefore much smaller.It did mean we had lovely sun. We had a hike around the lake and Lloyd spent some time fishing again. However you can not compete against the local inhabitants, the otter.

Our friendly chipmunk

We have enjoyed looking at all the different creatures and birds. The chipmunks and squirrels and fascinating for us  to watch.I guess its because we don't have them at home. The weather did not really perform as we hoped, it got cold and wet but the sun did shine occasionally. We find the weather can change hear very quickly but its probably because we spend a lot of time in mountain type areas.At least we brought suitable clothes for the weather.
