Getting to know our way around

Today we found an awesome spot to ski and board. And NO, I'm not going to post the co-ordinates here. I'd sooner post the co-ordinates for one of our favorite fishing holes than post this spot. Good water is hard to find. OK - so you thought I was kidding - this whole channel is a great spot to fish for walleye depending on the water level. Its not the absolute best spot in that area but its pretty damn close. But no way am I telling you where to go for good water in the lower mainland.

Having found good water we are a lot more comfortable deciding to stay in this area for the long term. We were really worried how we would adjust to losing this stretch of the Shuswap River to ski on. Cultus Lake is definitely not a ski lake in the summer anyway. Its a gong show out there from 8:00 AM until dark and they keep the gates locked until 8:00 AM so you can't go any earlier than that.

Tomorrow we move up the road to Bridal Falls and the first of our Holiday Trails membership parks. It won't be any hardship to come back to this place but it will be fun to see what waits for us at Bridal Falls. We've driven by it many times on the highway and I always thought it looked like a really special spot but I don't think we have ever even driven into the parking lot there.

Once we get moved we'll do some exploring up towards Harrison Lake as well. We've heard that there is good ski water up there because it is a little colder and the weekenders with their tubes don't like it as much. Today Marilyn is going to phone someone in the post office in Nipawin to see about getting our mail redirected from there. I tried to do that online but ran into some Canada Post stupidity so she is going to try it with a real live person on the phone. If that doesn't work it might have to wait until we are back in Saskatchewan.
