Off to see my sister Rosemary and Alex in Nelson, a small town of 9700 people, which is set on the north arm of Kootenay Lake. We left Vernon in cloud, following the beautiful emerald green of Kalamalka Lake. By Kelowna, we were in a downpour so thick we could hardly see the road but it only lasted for a half hour. Then it was highway 33 through Beaverdell, Rock Creek, and saw a doe and fawn, then a huge dark brown moose standing by the trees at the roadside. We met R and A at their mailbox on highway 3A and Alex guided us down to the cul-de-sac at the side of their property. We set up and walked across their property where Ron and Alex sat at the lakeshore. R and I joined them but headed to the porch when raindrops started. Then guys followed when the 1/2" hailstones hit them. A fast moving storm came in over the mountain and belted us with hailstones for 20 minutes, then slowed down and disappeared. Quite the unique adventure. We enjoyed a lovely fire on the beach after dinner.
