Victoria Day long week end.

Here it is Friday of a long week end and we are expecting a bunch of people camping across the road from us.  In a way, it would be nice to have someone around except a few chipmunks, stellars jays and hummingbird.  However, it was not meant to be.  It is just as quiet as before.  There were about 30 quads that went by to go toodling in the bush, but aside from that, no more campers. 

Today, Saturday, we had a wonderful visit from our fellow campers from Kamloops;  Louise and Casey.  They are in the process of becoming full time rvers also, so we shared our story of how we decided to rent our home instead of selling it, as they have their home on the market at present.   Casey will be retiring in June, so we are anxiously waiting to see what they will be doing.

Later on in the day, Charlie, Lynden, their sons Trenton and Gregg and grand daughter Caitlin arrived.  The boys then went fishing and the girls went quading.   After that, they came back here and we all had dinner of hot dogs, salad and rhubarb crumple. 

Some of the trees in our front yard are dead of the pine beetle disease and we were wondering how tall they were as we are worried they would fall on the trailer in a wind storm.  Sooo, to solve the matter, I asked Lynden to cut one of the small trees down and I could measure it to see if the other trees would hit the trailer.  Well, the result is not what we wanted to hear, as the trees would definitely hit our trailer.  Are we going to loose sleep over it, no.  Lynden will drop all the dead trees for us in the fall so we can come back here next spring and not worry about dead trees falling on us.

Here are a few pictures of an object that Lynden found today.  If anyone knows what it is, could you let us know.  Also some other pics  take today.

Pretty cold in the morning.  Go for a nice walk.  Started raining a bit around 3 pm.
