DAY 3 - Hike to Lumsden Lake! 
August 06, 2018

Today we got up nice and early, packed up some lunch and headed out for our hike. With Gracie strapped to Roni, Clara strapped to Tine and Sammy hiking with the rest of us, we tackled the 12KM round trip to Lumsden Lake. This was one of the first lakes in the area to show the signs of acidification which has cleared all the fish and zooplankton from the lakes. Although the crystal clear lakes have been beautiful over the years, it's so nice to see them coming back now! Once we arrived at the rocks we all had a couple good jumps and a refreshing swim, then warmed up on the rocks before heading back. We ended our day with some delicious fish and chips at Herbert's Fisheries, and had a little visit from some otter friends to end the evening!!

Tomorrow we are heading out of Killarney to start our treck out West!

DAY 38/39 - Okanagan Wine Tour and Home Time! Sunday we woke up not quite as refreshed as we were hoping, but we were in a Super8 hotel where we heard every door slam closed through the night so that made sense. We took advantage of the hotel, showered up and got ready for our day ahead!  We checked out around 11am and headed to ABC Nails downtown Kelowna. Considering today was a day of luxury and we have 2 weddings when we get home, it was time to get my nails done. After 6 weeks of roughing it and camping, they were pretty bad. And I do have a shiny new rock to show off now sooooo 😉 While I got my nails done Zack explored the downtown area and grabbed a beer. Which was $7 for a bottle of Kokanee and he was not impressed haha  After that we headed to the next hotel for the night, Best Western Plus Wine Country Hotel & Suites in West Kelowna. We were also getting picked up here to start our wine tour around Okanaga...

DAY 1- OFF WE GO!!! August 04, 2018  After an amazing night out with great friends and celebrating Zacks last day at work, we're off on our adventure! First stop on our trip is Killarney Provincial Park. I grew up camping here with my family, jumping off the rocks, having campfires and portaging. Last year Zack and I spent some time up there again after many years and it's easily one of our favourite places.  We are here for 3 days, and then head West early Monday morning!
