We spent the Thanksgiving weekend with Jeff’s nephew, his family and a whole bunch of other people. We did the group camp thing at Tunkwa Lake, which is a very popular fishing lake in the Kamloops area.
Saturday evening was the Turkey dinner and our contribution was mashed potatoes – but we made garlic mashed potatoes instead which was awesome! The talk of dinner was – “Gladys’s pots”. Everyone wanted to know where I got the pots that kept the food oh so warm…
The next day we left early for Adams River, at the Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park. 2014 is a peak year for returning Sockeye Salmon. It was pretty cool seeing the vibrant red fishes in the water. Kids being kids, they were captivated by dead salmon and Marcus asked that I take some pictures of dead salmon, which I guess I might as well share.. The place was busy, perhaps more people than fish! LOL. (But mostly Asians.. why?)

When we left just before noon, the parking lot had filled up and the road leading into the park was bumper to bumper for about 2kms.. Glad we got there early because Jeff said that he wouldn’t be waiting and would turn around..
That’s it for camping in 2014. We will be winterizing our 5th wheel in a couple of weeks and perhaps start thinking about 2015 trips.

What a wonderful way to wrap up a great year of RVing!! When we were kids, my parents used to take us to the salmon run at Goldstream Park in Victoria; it always made me sad to see them swimming so hard up-stream to lay their eggs. But such is the circle of life, right? Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
sounds, and looks, like it was great way to celebrate Thanksgiving!!
