So Saturday morning we decided after reading up on some of the things to do in Kamloops to head to Wells Gray Provincial Park. We wanted to scope it out for a camping trip this summer and see the apparently 4th highest waterfall in Canada at over 463ft. The waterfall is called Helmcken Falls named after a physician with the Hudson Bay Company who helped bring British Columbia into the Confederation. But he never did see the falls!!! The Wells Gray park has 514,000 hectares of park land and we are very intrigued to do some tent camping and canoeing this summer here as most of the park is closed for the winter. Before it was a park this was hunting ground for the Shuswap and Chilcotin natives. Then became homesteading land and in 1939 finally a park. So as we headed out for this adventure and half way through our trip Hannah announced she wasn't feeling well...... Thank god we had a bowl in the back seat!! Eric didn't want to go back so we continued which was great, though long drive the scenery is pretty incredible. We got to the park had a picnic and just enjoyed the fresh air. Ice cream before heading home and more spewing. Exactly 9 times counted and announced by Hannah. Home for some movies on the couch and a warm bath.
Adventures...... good and bad come with them all.
