Peace Island Park

Peace Island Park

Last weekend I spent at Peace Island Park, which is just south from Taylor BC, across the bridge spanning the Peace River. I have been camping there for 30 years now and does it ever have more campers now! Well we used to be campers, with tents,  portable stoves, sleeping bags and out houses. Now a days everyone has a big rigs, with kitchens, double beds and their own toilets. My rig is the camper in one of the pictures below, and still use the outhouses as it it easer than flushing toilet tanks.

The park has expanded over the years, with new sites compleat with power and a new boat launch.

You now have to make reservations to camp there on the weekends as it all gets booked up (in the old island part anyways). Phone (250) 789-9295 Their web site is http://www.camping.bc.ca/Peace_Island_Park_1623MID.aspx

All these images are HDR shot with a Canon 40D and a Canon 17 – 40L USM. Taken hand held, with auto exposure bracket  -2, 0, +2 stops. RAW files developed in Lightroom V 2.3, HDRs created in Photomatix 3, and then tweeked again in Lightroom. Of course more time was spent on the top image.

On the second day of holidays I am sitting in the Sintich Trailer & RV Park in PG. It is a large and nicely kept campground just on the south side of PG on highway 97. Free showers! The private campgrounds have WiFi now so at least a person can write a post about waisting time on holidays. My new camper has a furnace problem that is very strange and a new control board did not help. It will not re-start after the first run and it is warm. Of course Happy Trails RV is all booked up and short of help, and I have to wait until tomorrow for a service tech. Shopping is out until the way home so the camper is not full of stuff. The camper floor just got a wash job and a big black spot removed. The dishes are done and the stove cleaned. The pubs will probably get some business from me tonight or maybe just stay in the campground eat good food and drink whiskey.
