Well we got a few more people hooked on geocaching. Ken, Richard and I ventured out to Mable Lake to meet up with Wayne, Wendy, Bev and Larry. Off we went to locate 5 different caches in different areas. We found them all, some more easily than others.

Mable Lake is a lake that opens into the Shuswap River that feeds the Shuswap Lake. The lake is approx. 35 km long. A cold lake but that does not deter the swimmers, and water skiers. The Salmon find their way up into this fresh lake and right now they have returned in record numbers. Nice to hear that the salmon are indeed returning.

Our weekend was filled with great food, golfing, quading, geocahing, hot tubing, Mexican train. and of course great entertainment.

Friday night we went to local eclectic restaurant where we were entertained by a 7 piece band. The dinner and music was terrific.

The next morning we ventured over to the hanger in golf carts for Bev's famous waffles. Of course add bacon, eggs, potatoes, fruit and you now have a breakfast that will last until dinner.

The women went for a round of golf, while the guys went miles into the bush overlooking the lake on the quads.

I have golfed once in my life, over 15 years ago so I think that the fact that I could even hit the ball should allow my score to be classed as under par. Lets just say it could have been much worse. The others well they know how to golf. They actually had a game. I give them credit for having patience with me.

The men had a blast and came back not to dusty as it had been raining and the dust was minimal.

We then retreated to the hot tub to ease a few sore muscles.

That evening we had a wonderful Alberta Beef steak dinner accompanied by the famous Wayne's band. It is always a treat to be entertained with the guitars. Unfortunately there is a fire ban on in BC so no campfire was allowed.

Sunday was spent geocaching and this brought us to wonderful, interesting view point. We searched in 50 year old cedar stumps, piles of rocks along the river, and the weirdness place to date a cattle guard. We stopped along the way at a camp ground and had a picnic. Who says being retired isn't fun! It was great exercise and it did take us to areas that you didn't know even existed. I found the old logging area the most interesting as the new growth is ready to be cut.

Mexican Train dominoes was on the evening agenda and I really do not remember who won so I know it wasn't me.

Fresh fruit is abundant in BC right now so the trunk was loaded down with cherries, peaches, nectarines, plums and BC corn.

Time with Wayne and Wendy, Bev and Larry is always a great time. We would like to thank Wayne and Wendy for being such gracious hosts, look forward to you visiting us in the Caribbean and enjoy the geocahing.
