There were a number of lakes between Oliver and Canyon Hot Springs. People were out fishing, boating, waterskiing, etc. At a town called Kelowna we went across a floating bridge or at least it used to be originally. I am still trying to find out the truth about this. We stopped in this beautiful valley where there was a Log Barn Fruit Stand and it had a goat walk high over their personal entrance road. You bought feed and put it in or on something and then the goats knew how to bring it up to them and they would walk across this to get to it. They came up on a ramp on one side and of course there was railing to keep them safe. It was so cute. Mennonites cooked the food and pies and candy.
At some point I saw a bald eagle up in a tree at a distance and we saw a small black bear by the side of the road eating. After we got settled at Canyon Hot Springs RV Park I took a walk and then got out my spotting scope looking across at the mountains looking for mountain sheep or goats and before long I had most of the people from our 13 coaches come by and we were looking at snow melt streams and waterfalls coming down the side of the mountain. On my walk I saw a little prarie dog or pika, not sure which, but it was cute. We had a freight train come by at regular intervals hauling everything. It was such a grade that they had 2 engines in front and eventually 2 more separated by a number of cars and then 1 or 2 at the end. The trains out here are really long.
We stopped at a Giant Cedars Boardwalk which went up into the woods and around. They were huge and very old. Nice walk.
