It took some doing though. We were all hooked up and ready to go when we did the last minute taillight check and the left taillight was not functioning. Leo fiddled with bulbs and ultimately had to drive out to 150 Mile House to purchase a new taillight from Chemo RV. Three hours later we hit the road for Steelhead Provincial Park on Kamloops Lake in Savona.
We snagged our favorite spot
overlooking the outlet of Kamoops Lake, which comes with its own resident pair of magpies.
Bird of the Day!
We were hoping for warmer weather 3 hours south of home, but it was windy and not very sunny for the whole 3 days. Still warmer than at home and way warmer than Begbie Summit where it was snowing hard when we passed through.
After dinner we walked down to the bridge over the Thompson River where we were interrupted by a loud splash. Noone was throwing rocks off the bridge so we eventually saw the beaver that slapped its tail swimming in the river. We beat a retreat so he could swim to shore 7ninterrupted.
Around the campsite We saw 11 species today:magpie,yellow-rumped warblers (Audubon and myrtle), starling, ruby-crowned kinglet, a bald eagle chasing an osprey (quite dramatic and close up!), white-crowned sparrows, American crow, western meadowlark, mallard and common merganser.
enjoyed the lilacs and the apple tree. Amazing. i would love to see the Lewis woodpecker. God bless.
