Osoyoos, BC

Nk'Mip Campground
Site #89 - $31 p/w/s
Temp 34C

We arrived at the park at 2:15 p.m. Such a gorgeous day.  We headed to the lake with our floaties.  Perfection!

We went for a short tour about the town after supper. It wasn't long before the campground started filling up.  The beginnings of a busy weekend.

On Friday the temperature was 28C. It was back to the lake again with our floaties.  Later we picked up a few groceries. It was a gorgeous evening and we sat out around the propane fire pit. (no open fires allowed)



Kari and Gerry arrived on Saturday. I think they brought the rain. There were some breaks. We spent our evenings separate. 
We had a fire at our campsite while Kari and Gerry spent the evening at the condo they'd rented. There were cops and security around the campground and there were some evictions that evening. We didn't hear much from inside our 5th wheel but it sounds like quite a party!

On Sunday we spent the day in the lake and hiking on the trails. It started raining about supper time so we went up to the condo for the evening. It was a little noisy in the campground once again.



On Monday everyone went to the amusement park except me. I stayed back at the RV. I made a pasta salad and just enjoy the quiet and some reading. Once again we spent our evenings separate.

Kari and Gerry left on Tuesday after a bacon and egg breakfast Ron and I went for a bike ride and some walks. Ron started a conversation with our neighbour.  It turned out he (Frank) was from the Fraser River Fishing Lodge, the fishing lodge that Richard did guiding for.  They had four boys who were home schooled - not that we saw a lot of that going on while we were there!?  Two of the boys came for a walk with us and we saw a rattle snake along the path.

It stormed on Wed. and on Thurs we drove up to Oliver, checking out the local campgrounds.  The wind came up at supper time again.  A good reason to not park on the front rows!

Doug, Rina and the kids arrived on Friday and parked beside us with their trailer. We kept busy with fishing, swimming and hiking.


Jeff and Jen arrived on Sat. and brought their canoe.  They slept in their van.

The weather was pretty decent until mid afternoon on Sunday when it began to pour.

The gang all headed to the amusement park and rode the go-carts etc. (except Ron and I)  We said our goodbyes to them on Monday after lunch.
