Deb and I went on a two week trip to Blind Bay, B.C. We left on September 9 and returned September 22. We loaded my Rav with two kayaks, two bicycles, two sets of golf clubs, clothes, life jackets, paddles, and two weeks worth of groceries. Because of covid times, we decided to make the trip in one day and take our own groceries to limit contact with other people. We made good use of the kayaks. We paddled on Lake Shuswap, White Lake, Gardom Lake, and Skimikin Lake. Many of our days were spent hiking the various trails in the area. Our favourites were Adams River, Upper Floom, Siphon Falls, and Blind Bay Lookout. On two separate occasions, we golfed the Salmon Arm Heritage Course. The bikes were only used once...neither Deb nor I were fans of pedalling up the steep terrain. Short story: spending two weeks in the Shuswap area was a nice getaway. We had great travel weather and had plenty of exercise/healthy food. There were five days when forest fire smoke from the Oregon fires created poor air quality and limited visibility, but we carried on in spite of the smoke. As is usually the case with me, I was glad to get home to my girls and my Luv Bug. I got to spend to two hours with Mary and Luv at the playground yesterday and today, I walked the grand dogs with Haley. I have already played two games of ball and tomorrow, I have a kayak journey planned with a buddy of mine. Saturday is the Judy Walk at Cranberry Flats. Life is good!
