Day 57: Boya Lake Campground in British Columbia


We had decided to spend an extra day at this beautiful park.  After breakfast, we headed out for a hike along a trail that went around one end of the lake to a beaver dam.  Upon our return, we relaxed for a while, then rented a canoe and went out on the lake.  The water was incredibly clear, so you could see way down to the bottom.  A wind came up while we were out, so we didn’t last long,  but it was fun anyway.  We also spent time during the day talking with neighbors on either side.  On one side is a couple from outside Montgomery, AL, who are traveling in a truck, towing a trailer, and carrying a tandem kayak that is propelled by pedaling the feet.  They spent almost all their time in Alaska on the Kenai peninsula at a town south of Kasilof, and the man fished much of the time.  They bought a small freezer that they are traveling with that is full of halibut and salmon!  On the other side, there is a couple who are from British Columbia but they are full-timers; that is, their RV is their home.  It’s a very big Class A and they tow a car, but I don’t think I’d ever get to where I didn’t have an actual geographic “home”. 


Grilled salmon for dinner, and a lovely campfire----feeling very relaxed and ready to take on the next segment of our journey.  I do hope we will soon be in a place with showers and internet access!

NOTE:  Enough internet to post words---I'll add photos later!
