May 28
I am at Kokanee something Park. I just do not feel like getting up to find out what the actual name is as I am enjoying my one beer of the day….Kokanee Creek. Near Nelson and Susan reminded me the Steve Martin movie “Roxanne” was filmed in the environs.
I bought a 12 pack of PC non-alcohol brew today and I’ll stick to that for the time being…tomorrow actually because I just put it in the fridge.
I was a little nervous this morning hitching up the trailer because I had moved a lot of weight from the truck. Everything was ok! I even checked the trailer brake “gain” after watching a GM three minute video a few times. Dennis from Escape had set everything up perfectly.

I also changed my approach to driving, leaving the cruise control off and I was much happier.

I suffer from vertigo a little. Precipices sort of bother me and there happen to be a lots of them in the Rockies for some reason.

So, I focus on the yellow line when the edge.
I saw a grizzly bear by the side of the road and some idiot hit the brakes and attempted a quick u-turn in the middle of the highway on a hill going down. Attempted because he had to back up and start over…some cars need lots of room. I hope the bear ate his car!
Once at the campground I had to zig and zag to get into my spot (the size of a small rink) and close to the electricity post. No water or sewer services. I filled my tank with fresh water before leaving and I am here until Wednesday. The Kootenay park had full service.  

The service area is a minute away and I will be fine.
I goofed up when setting up trailer at my site, no damage but a good lesson and I will read the manual again tomorrow morning.
There are so many things to remember and account for and it can be confusing.
Supper tonight…no idea. I have envelopes with rice, perhaps that. 
Off to check out the lake….beautiful!
