Lac La Hache to Crooked River Provincial Park, Hwy 97
2 August 2010
Humans & dog slept well last night despite the smokey environment.
The truck and fifth wheel were covered with ash from the forest fires, blown in overnight.
Headed to the lake after breakfast. It was so smokey there wasn't much to see! Tazz loves water so she wasn't too concerned about scenery. The fires were west of the lake.

The day was warm but Tazz was the only one enjoying the water.

smoke
Highway 97 northbound wasn't too busy so made good time. Our destination for the day was Crooked River Provincial Park, a nice spot beside Bear Lake.
When we pulled in at 3 p.m. the campground was still busy with folks there for the long weekend, but most were parked in the day use area. Thus a great campspot was available!

This evening took a hike to Square Lake, a nearby marshy lake. LOTS of bugs. Steve was covered in his own blood from swatting flies while they munched on him.
The campfire ban meant no fire tonight so cooked our hot dogs on the RV-Q.
Tazz enjoyed more play in the lake. There was much less smoke here so breathing was easier too.
