My sand castle
After checking out the wild west of Osoyoos our holiday was drawing to an end and we hit the road back towards Vancouver. After not getting our rental car till late (the day we picked it up) we didn’t need to return it till Monday afternoon so we decided to camp one last night somewhere near Vancouver.
En route to Lake Harrison we stopped at a diner because I’d missed my caffeine fix earlier. Dave’s Diner was classic. While waiting for my coffee and Nicole’s can of pop I noticed on the wall the Trade Certificate for Dave someone in Automotive Machining – to me this epitomised a “chef” in a north American diner – an ex mechanic! Dave even came out of the kitchen to chat to us and was very friendly.
We then hit the highway again and managed to keep up with the traffic on the open road doing 140kph even when the road signs said 80kph was the speed limit.
We arrived in Lake Harrison in the evening to find a closed camp ground. We then drove on and found a very cool little camp ground in amongst a forest. After setting up and a brief walk we had a relatively early night. In the morning we set off to check out what Lake Harrison had to offer…. sand castles! These guys take their sand castles to the next level. Of course we didn’t pay the $5 enter fee but cruised around the perimeter and I managed to take some good photos over the fence. And alas our road trip was all but over.
I steered the Mazda3 towards Vancouver and home sweet home it was. Time to find a job.
