Monday 15th - Rattlesnakes and Gopher snakes



Drove south towards the the US border today continuing our tour of the wine region. Osoyoos is the last town before you hit the border and its highlight is probably a snake conservation park. Two of the park wardens here were giving a talk on the 7 different snakes that can be found in this region of Canada and produced a rattlesnake and Gopher snake for demonstration purposes. We were then invited to walk a trail though the park and were told to expect to come across the odd rattler - Kate was glad we didn't. This would never happen in England - firstly because we don't get Rattlesnakes and secondly this would send H&S completely off the radar. Found a campsite in a little town called Oliver near by - pitched the tent near the shoreline of yet another beautiful lake and watched the sun set and moon rise.
