Golden Rules, so they say

Golden Municipal Campground
Site #22 - $35 p/w, wifi good (golden10)
Temp 22C

Well we ended up 5 nights at Blanket Creek Provincial Creek. Because it was just so relaxing and enjoyable.  And warm! Ron had to carry a few buckets of water to top up our tanks but the battery power held up fine.  Our little propane light works well to light up the inside of our RV after dark, plus it provides a bit of heat on those cooler evenings. AND, it saves the battery for the fridge and hot water heater.

Ron's friendly talk talk talk to everyone paid off this weekend as two different units 'donated' their leftover firewood to us.  Quite a haul! He didn't have to pilfer from the wood scrap pile for our Sunday fire.

Monday we hit the road again.  All the way to Golden - a 175km trip! It's a very nice little Municipal campground, except... you got it... TRAINS.

 We were a little concerned about staying here because the high school is across the street from the campground office.  When we arrived at lunch hour, the first few campsites were filled with teens, sitting on picnic tables and just 'hanging out'. However, classes resumed and our campspot further down the road gave a much better impression.  We started out being the only ones in the campground but it filled for the evening.  It appears to be popular with the Europeans in their rental motorhomes who tour this time of year.

Great biking!

Anyway, we enjoyed a bike trip around the town and along the Kicking Horse River trails, plus we sat at the fire.

Today we awoke to rain. Well actually we awoke to the 5 am trains that passed by. Guess we won't complain - could have been worse.  There are numerous trains during the day. After lunch we are off to the Laundromat.

Interesting note - The campground Store is also home to The French Connection Cheese and Fine Foods.
