I know that it's been a long time since I posted a blog. So I'll fill you in on what we've been up to. After leaving Sqaumish, our next destination was Chilliwack. The reason for this stop, was to have another visit with Mike's brother Rob, before we left the area. The park itself was crammed in tightly and overpriced and right on the Trans Canada, so very noisy; but the visit was great. There were also nice mountain views all around, but we were happy to pull out on Monday morning.
We took the Crowsnest Pass, Highway #3 heading East towards Osoyoos. Very little traffic; and the views all around were again breath taking. Didn't matter which direction you looked, there were mountains.
We arrived early afternoon; and were enjoying the hot tub and heated pool, shortly there after. Very nice park, well layed out; lots of trees in between sites, and a lake out the back window - pretty nice! The internet however, wasn't the strongest; and that contributed to the long blog delay.
Tuesday was a pretty rough day. Molly isn't doing very well these days - the arthritis in her back legs has gotten worse; and she having a tough time getting in and out of the rig. And going for walks is painfully slow. We made a few phone calls to local vets, to see about having her put to sleep; but when she looked at us with those big brown eyes, we both melted and neither of us had the heart; so off to the pharmacy we went instead. She's now on glucosamine sulphate and an aspirin. It's been almost a week; and even though the improvements are small; she does seem to be improving.
Thursday found us heading East on #3 for a day trip. The "hill" heading out of town is the Anarchists Highway; and even with just the truck; it was a workout. But once at the top... you guessed it, breath taking views all around, with Osoyoos spread out below. There was barely a cloud in the sky; and you could see a long way. Including our campground. From there, we continued on a gravel road up towards Mount Baldy. The skiing is done for the year and most of the snow is gone. On towards Oliver, and then back to the park.
Another adventure on Friday, this time the Desert Cultural Centre. Spent some time in the centre; and then off on the hike we went. I haven't mentioned this yet, but Osoyoos is in Canada's Senoran desert. And very reminiscent of our time in the south west.
Another day drive on Saturday and a hike on Sunday. The weather turned out to be pretty nice this past week, low 20's and mostly sunny and it was great to be out and about doing things.
Take a look at our pictures

Hi you two + 1.... we have found the weather definetly effects our 11 yr. old dogs. Cold and damp.... they are slow and even limping sometimes, warm & sunny... a bit quicker and stronger. Every 3 or 4 days I give our two big guys an adult Bayer aspirin. We did use a ramp to get them in and out of our pick up truck. (Al built it) But you can buy collapsable ones. Molly may need one, pick ups are hard to get in and out of, even for humanoids ! Big smooches and high fives for MOLLY !! p.s. oh yeah ....sounds like beautiful country you are seeing .... Kelly
Great pictures. You guys are sooooo lucky to be traveling again. I am so envious & wished we were on the road again. I am sooooooooo bored sitting here!!!! Are you heading back into the States again?? Our thoughts are with Molly & we're hoping the medication helps. Our guys are slowing down as well:(( AL.
Hey, sorry to hear Molly is having trouble. She was slow on the walks when I was out to visit the end of February. Sounds like the asprin is helping though.
Keep the blogs coming - you know I live vicariously through you two!
