After the Lake Louise location which was excellent, we headed off west on the Canada 1 for the Kelowna area and a little town called Peachfield because we thought the park sounded pretty good. Actually better than good. Todd's was a cute little park right on the beach of Lake Okanagan. While small, the park had all the prerequisites like cable TV and a pretty good wi-fi setup. The pics I sent last night were from Todd's. The computer hookup, however, was painfully slow but I was able to get some pics off.

What a pretty location and as expected a good location for Canadian retirees through the winter. About 68 degrees and really nice. We walked along the beach and looked at some inticing condos just a few meters from the campsite. This is a park just steps from our RV campsite and the picture on Wednesday the 19th ...

Then, this morning, Thursday... holy snowballs! This was the worst piece of travel we have had so far. From Peachfield to Vancouver it was 32 degrees, snow showers, fog, freezing rain, and 8% up and down slopes where the bus was working hard, and the snow and slush were wild. We had expected this all through the Rockies and had not had a problem and after the last few stops it was so unexpected.

The Flying Scotsman worked great at about 35 MPH and 4000 RPM pulling the load. It was on the downslope that the brakes overheated and we had to stop for a bit; fortunately it was lunchtime and we let the bus cool off while we cooked pizza. This is a neat machine and I'm still learning.
