Fairmont Hot Springs

One of the many mountain views

Hello all, It has been a few days since my last post, we have been mostly busy and a little lazy. On Sunday the 21 rst we traveled @ 225 miles to Fairmont Hot Springs Resort and our first taste of the Canadian Rockies. The trip was uneventful, but it did take a little getting used to mountain driving.

Our Campsite

We stayed in a nice private campground. The sites were a little tight  and getting around with a 40 ft rig was a challenge. That evening our leaders (Wagonmasters & Tailgunners)  provided avery nice group meal consisting of pulled pork, coleslaw, chips and cookies. It was a good opportunity to mingle and get to know one another.

Hot Springs Pool

Monday was scheduled to be a free day that we could explore the campground and surrounding area.The options available were kayaking, hiking rafting and the hot springs pool. When we woke up in the morning there was a drizzle and 52 degrees.  The weather got worse from there, the rain got heavier and the temps dropped into the high 40's.  The weather put and end to our hiking plans, we hung around the coach resting and reading debating whether to the hot spring pool or wait until the rain stopped to avoid getting wet (?) . We finally packed our stuff and struck out in the cold rain to visit the hot pool. It was actually quite relaxing and worth the trip in the cold rain.
