Summer's Last Hurrah!

Steven's side of the family, on his Mom's side, has a family reunion every three years. This year it was back at Camp Arbuckle, in the Okanagan, for the 3rd time, although the last time at this spot was in 1997. We headed off, into the clouds and over the Roger's Pass. There was a lot of snow on the Roger's, but when we got to camp we were lucky enough to have HOT weather, the one day was over 30 C, perfect!

After a 6-8 hour drive (I can never figure out how long we actually travel, what with pee-breaks, lunch stops, construction delays and time changes) we rolled into the camp. What a perfect spot! If you click twice on the photo you can see how lovely it is.
The camping area, where we parked our trailers is to the left, and the buildings to the right are a HUGE kitchen, with stoves, fridges, freezers, sinks, microwaves, all the dishes, pots and pans etc are also supplied. There is a equally large room ajoining, that has TVs, couches, and lots of space for gathering, perfect for inclement weather. The larger building is dorms, there must be about 12 or 14 rooms, each with 4 beds and downstairs are bathrooms and showers. Perfect for reunion the size of this one.

I can't even believe that summer is coming to an end already when it never actually even seemed to settle in this year at all. Still, it was nice while it lasted. Looks like you had a lot of fun!
