Salmon Arm BC - Hidden Valley Campground & RV Park

Our next stop is Hidden Valley RV Park in the VERY little town of Canoe just east of Salmon Arm, BC.
We are now on the south end of Lake Shuswap as you proceed east on the Trans-Canada highway but just another measly 22 miles closer to Lake Louise and Banff. It does however put us an easy two hour drive from Glacier National park, where we plan to spend four days.

Hidden Valley is right off of the Trans-Canada Highway. Pretty nondescript upon entering, but our site was in the back, down a steep hill, around a corner and in a... wait for it... HIDDEN VALLEY! It was surprisingly green, shady, and quiet. Complete with its own salmon and trout stream that ran just behind our site. Tank enjoyed lapping up the clear water (the water we put in his bowl in the RV, just doesn't hold the same allure) and happily cooled his paws in the stream.

It was a nice couple of days to do laundry, recharge the batteries, get some groceries and generally regroup before heading into a stretch of camping without amenities. 

Tom did get away on the second day there, went over to Club Shuswap golf and pickelball resort (more of a mom and pop kind of place). Sadly, although there were pickelball courts, there was no one around to challenge. So he went to the driving range and took out his frustration on a bucket of balls. It didn't take long at all to realize (from the horses mouth) he could misjudge and miss hit in metric with almost exactly the same frequency as with the imperial system. "Who says the metric system is superior? It didn't help my golf game any!"
