First Camp Out!

Yesterday, the BC provincial parks opened for residents of BC.  We'd been thinking of "camping close" to try out our new camper van that Dave constructed from a cargo van we purchased last September.  Things went pretty well with it  and we found it very comfortable to ride in.  One issue that needs to be addressed is the drawers sliding open on those sharp corners on BC roads!  We headed to Davis Creek campground on Kootenay lake, a 35 minute drive from our place.  The park was about half full and we enjoyed the beautiful evening and sunset last night.  Today, we walked into Lardeau to go birdwatching in that village - always a prime area for birds.   Didn't see much except a lot of tree swallows, a single merganser, and we could certainly hear hummingbirds and Stellar's jays.  Short but sweet, it was good to get out on the road again.  Many of us are "stuck at home" for the next while and it sure makes me glad that my home is British Columbia where my favourite parks have always existed.
