You sure can't beat the weather here ... hot in the day and nice and cool at night.  We got out for a couple hour paddle yesterday morning - the lake was mill-pond calm and not a cloud in sight.  Certainly not as much to look at as paddling in the ocean, but then there's the bonus of not having to deal with currents, tides etc. which I like!  I think that we'll probably head out again this morning as the afternoon might be hot enough to be a 'beach day'.  The temps are expected to reach 29C - but it usually gets hotter than forecasted!

It really feels like you're in a desert here (which you are!) except for this beautiful lake.  We're in the heart of the fruit growing area of BC ... we can walk to several fruitstands and are enjoying eating MANY local peaches, nectarines, pears, plums, cherries and of course the veggies are good too!
We're starting to look at where to go next.  We thought originally of Nelson/Nakusp etc., but there doesn't seem to be many RV parks around there.  We found that Christina Lake - near Castlegar - looks pretty nice so may go there first.  It's not far from here which is nice.
