June 15 Donald B.C.

Left Vernon  on Saturday June 15 for Donald B.C. , destination is Campers Haven RV park. Very  scenic drive thru the rockies and Rogers Pass. Park owners name is Yvon Guay. We are the only campers in the park, stayed for three nites and had only two others arrive while we were here. Drove the golden triangle, Golden B.C. to Lake Louise , Alberta, then towards Banff until hit highway  93 across the rockies westward to Radium  B.C. and then north back to Golden. Stopped for picture taking at Lake Louise and then at Radium for a swim at the hot springs. Saw a bear cub and the mother run across the highway and also saw some mountain goats on a cliff beside the highway. On Monday June 17 we decided to go white water rafting on the kicking horse river with a tour company. There were 7 of us including the guide who was actually steering the raft thru 11k of rapids , some class 3 others class  4, we were all dressed in wet suits including helmets. I’ll post a picture from their website is is similar to what we went thru. Met one guide by the name of Ryan Vrooman who has relatives in Saint John.. he mentioned  Nancy Moore and Ronald Moore but  he couldn’t remember where in Saint John since it was when he was a kid.  We moved down to Fairmont Hot springs Rv Resort since the forcast is rain and there is nothing in Donald.
