Got up at what we thought was 7 am but in reality it was 8 am local. Saw some mule deer right outside the trailer. They had been previously feeding on the steep hillside but now had come down into the campground. Took some pictures of them as well as some birds. Left camp at approximately 10 a.m. soon we began to see the mountains in the distance. Stopped at the site of the Frank Slide near Coleman British Columbia. This was a big coal mining area around the turn of the century. Stopped at Sparwood to see the “World’s Largest Truck”. Simba wasn’t impressed and elected to sleep through the stop.
Then we continued on to Snowy Peaks RV Park near Fernie British Columbia where we met Chester Taje and his wife Marie from the Fiberglass Owners Group on the Internet.
We visited with them in their home and afterward they took us on an extended tour of the Fernie area. There are big ski resorts and up-scale homes and condos in this area.
