Castlegar, BC - A Town On the Columbia River

Our trip to Castlegar, BC was significant because it was Coralee's first experience with driving the motorhome down and down and down and down a mountain. The brakes started to warm up. SCAREY! There were about 8 or 9 runway sideroads -- does that tell you how long it was?

We stopped for about an hour, had lunch, regrouped and decided to remember Kevin's advice -- go real slow -- like the truckers do!!!!! No problem after that.












Castlegar, BC is built in a valley with the Columbia River running through it. A huge bridge brings the two halves together.











Fall is really upon us as I am sure it is where you are too. The trees are brilliant with yellows, oranges and reds. And, the air is crisp and clean. Ready to head south for more warmth. Beautiful though.
