We finally made it into Canada! We went north from Sandpoint, ID to Creston, BC. We were frisked at the border and they let us in anyway. Then we took 3 west to Castlegar and 6 north to Nelson. We went over a 5400 ft summit on 3. We hit 7% and 8% grades on the downhill side!  Kind of exciting!  it was good road, though, not overly curvy. We crossed the west arm of Kootenay Lake, over a bridge and drove up a little ways until we found this park. We meant to go to Walmart in Nelson to see if they sold fishing licenses. Even tough we're in a much smaller rig, Don still doesn't like the feel of driving through the towns. Anyway, we'll figure out where to stop tomorrow for a license. There are osprey and bald eagles here. They feed on the kokanee fry coming out of the creek. The picture is looking north from our campground, across a swimming area. Don is trying to get me to think in metric - I'm resisting.
