Todd and the girls went on a vacation while I was in class doing my graduate studies work for two weeks. They travelled through eastern BC and Alberta. They stopped at the Hope Slide, Manning Park and Osoyoos. They made friends with the gophers at Manning and took a quick dip at Osoyoos. Their first stop for the night was the Old Cowboy Campground north of Rock Creek in Westbridge. They enjoyed the horses but not the pit toilets. It was a little wet and damp for the first part of their trip.
On their second day, they travelled through Midway, Mile 0 of the Kettle Valley Railway and Rossland Mines. The camped in Creston. There were a few Sasquatch Sightings!
The following day, they travelled to Fort Steele. Fort Steele is the only unfortified fort built by the Northwest Mounted Police in the 1880's under the command of Superintendent Sam Steele, the most famous Mountie in Canadian history. They built it unfortified so that they could make peace with the First Nations groups in the area by welcoming them in. The girls enjoys looking through all the exhibits, seeing all the sights and interacting with the historical characters at the fort.
