Well it was back to working weekends for me, while Len had them off, so this weekend he headed down to Lockhart Provincial Park. He was there for the Saturday and I joined him for Sunday dinner and then for a few more days. We decided to do a couple days of geocaching.
We headed down to Riondel and did an earth cache at the old Blue Bell Mine and then we did Quintessential Kootenay Lake Cache which was a hike on the Pebble Beach Recreation trail. It was quick walk to the lake, a great view and a slightly longer walk back up. The weather wasn’t the greatest but it was worth the hike.
The nex
t day we headed up the gray creek/Kimberly pass, there was four caches all along the pass, unfortunately the weather was very wet and it had been raining for a couple of days and the caches were a hike in from the road. This meant we would get totally soaked. We were having some problems with getti
ng the motor home to recharge so that meant we couldn’t turn the heater on because that would mean we had no lights, so neither of us was very keen on getting wet. It was neat to travel up over the pass though; I had never been over it. The road was in a lot better shape that we thought that it would be. We got back to the campsite and had a huge fire to warm up. All in all it was a great weekend; mom and dad even joined us for dinner. In fact it was so much fun Len decided to do it again the next weekend. He and Lindy had a great time. It was a little cold but he had a great time fishing, reading and just general relaxing.
