Day
63 – 7-13-15 Monday We departed Kimberley about 9AM and headed for
the border of Canada and the USA. The scenery began to remind us of
the foothills of Western North Carolina. We stopped at the
Canada/United States Border at the Kingsgate/Eastpoint crossing. We
answered the normal questions about weapons, ammunition, food and
where have you been and where are you going. Once you are cleared to
move on you have to make a sharp left turn between two buildings. I
was wondering if I could make that turn while the agent was
questioning me. But he said since I had a large vehicle he was going
to move the cones between me and the lane to the right and let me out
that way. Boy was I glad.
Once
we got into the USA the name of the road changed to the Wild Horse
Trail Scenic Byway. It was a nice scenic drive through some beautiful
farm/ranch country. We passed through Bonners Ferry and stopped at
Blue Lake RV Resort and checked into site A7 for the night. Later we
drove the Jeep back into Bonners Ferry to check out the town. When we
returned to the campground we went down to the lake on the property and
set in a swing and I worked on the Blog while Lena read on her
Kindle. Several kids where swimming in the bottomless lake. The lake
was formed by glaciers and they don't know how deep it is. The
University of Idaho has checked it and know it is at least 50 feet
but their test equipment would not go any farther. The lake is only
about 3 acres in size.
The
campground staff puts on a Wine Bar in the evening to allow people to
get together and socialize. We went to this and met two couple from Alberta Canada and the couple that is
work camping at the campground was there. The man is from Wilmington
NC but they are currently traveling the USA in a RV. Small world.
