What is camping in paradise to you? Well to my husband and myself (Chanel), it is going back to the basics, back to nature, and truly giving ourselves the opportunity to lavish in the incredible miracle of our earth. For us it is a spiritual, refreshing, and rejuvenating experience that is much needed every summer! SO we hit the road last week and headed to Banff to visit Bret's sister Jen and then we went through B.C. to the Shuswap Lake. Ohhhh my goodness, it was A GONG SHOW!! The amount of people that we passed and saw on most of our trip was INSANE. We felt like we were in the middle of DisneyLand at Christmas... Except for this great little niche that we found thanks to a helpful Information center in Revelstoke! Oh my goodness.... she told us where she usually camps with her friends and wowowow,.... we drove 30 minutes past any man-made structure (except the highway) and came to this phenomenal little PRIVATE campsite with the most BEAUTIFUL view of the Columbia River reservoir and as a backdrop: a massively treed mountain with the capability to calm a raging lion. We found ourselves in our element: peaceful serenity. Here are some pics, and next time you think of going camping, try and speak to a local if you like privacy and peacefulness as opposed to the insanity of tourism and dirty bathrooms (oh... and don't forget your bear spray... you will be in their territory!!).
Camping Queens,
Chanel and Heather
