Day 4 - Canadian Nationals

So, we woke up to more rain this morning, surprise!

Over a long Breakfast at Hubert’s ...
... the decision was made to drive 3 hours east to visit the hot springs – Randy recommended Coyote Hot Springs so that’s where we headed via a long drive and the Needles ferry across the Arrows Lake.




It was amazing to see all the lumber tipped off the side of lorries to make into massive rafts that they drag to far away places, maybe Vancouver? You only see a few logs above the surface but there are at least 20-30 deep below!! The journey was eventful as we had to watch out for livestock on the roads – we saw rabbits, Coyote, Deer and Ostrich (or at least an ostrich farm) along with Osprey nests on the power lines along the roadside – Johnny Carr would be in his element!

The hot springs were great: we were the only 2 people there so clothes were optional;-) and we stayed and enjoyed the springs and view for 3 hours overlooking the lake sitting in the very hot pool and then reverting to the cooler bath tubs that were filled with creek water and gassy egg smelling very hot water – until we were wrinkly!
