WEATHER: Sunny and not as hot. Highs in 80s
We left Kamloops and drove about 100 miles, following a chain of beautiful lakes. Some with cute tourist towns. We stopped in Salmon Arm when we spotted a brewpub and had a nice lunch, and filled our growler to share with friends we are meeting today.
We are staying with friends of Tony and Jenny, from Nova Scotia. We met Tony and Jenny about a year ago in two different campgrounds in Newfoundland. We have kept in touch, and rendezvoused with them in early summer in the Badlands. They have spent the summer in western USA and Vancouver area. They are visiting friends here and invited us to join them. This is a little piece of heaven. Their friends live in a log cabin surrounded by beautiful gardens. 
When their children were growing up, they were almost self-sufficient, with cows, chickens, pigs, and a huge vegetable garden. 
They are near another large lake, Mabel Lake, with its resort, golf course, and airstrip. We will stay here a few days. There is plenty of space, and we even have electricity! 
We have our own private toilet, too!
DINNER: Tony was in charge. He made a yummy Indian chicken dish with zucchini and carrots from the garden.
We sat on the deck, enjoying the company and a peaceful, perfect summer evening.
