What to do on a sunny Sunday? Go for a Sunday drive! After Mass I loaded up the dogs and went for a drive along the eastern shore of Kootenay Lake. I didn't go too far as I"m battling a chest cold so I don't have a lot of energy. The dogs were full of energy though! I found a spot to park and took the dogs down to the water, accompanied by a few thousand mosquitoes. It was swat, throw stick, swat, throw stick, etc. but after 10 minutes I'd had enough, and we headed back.
I grew up on the other end of this lake and have many fond memories of summers spent swimming, and soaking up the sunshine on the beach. If I had driven a little farther I could have found a nice sandy beach, but at least there were no other people here.
I also found the spot where the oil tanker truck that I mentioned in this post crashed and burned. He went over some pretty high cement barriers, down a very steep embankment that has train tracks below it. Burned some nice trees too.

That looks like a gorgeous lake! I wish we had hills like you do there. Everything here is soooooo flat. Great farmland though.
Looks like a nice lake, and Im sure the dogs enjoyed it.
Looks lovely . Hope you get feeling better soon
Love the lake. The dogs look like they love it too. I like the new layout of the blog.
I've been there before as a child....I remember the mosquitoes too. Get well eh!
Hat summer colds, get well. Those dogs look so happy.
