Revelstoke Farmer's Market - Railroad Museum - Revelstoke Dam Tour

We’re heading up 23 to see what’s there. We just passed the dam.

GREAT views!

Passed a bunch of cars at “Sale Mtn” – looks like a caribou area. We started up the road but two people were sitting there and not moving so we backed down the short distance we had come. Weird. Back in town we stopped at the Farmer’s Market and bought some freestone peaches – YUMM). They had a wonderful variety of veggies, fruits, baked goods (got a scone from one) and some crafters.

Then we headed to the Railroad Museum. It was fascinating.

They had a number of old preserved cars.

It really reminded me of the trip we took on the California Zephyr when we were little.

Snow Plow!

After a good wander inside and outside at the rolling stock collection we headed back up 23 to the Revelstoke Dam Tour.

It was interesting and you got to ride up to the top of the dam and look down, but we didn’t get to see how it really worked…disappointing.

Then back to the campsite for an afternoon of blogging and picture processing. Ran into town after dinner to enjoy the free music on the mall (where the Farmer’s Market had been in the am). The band and singer were quite good. Went to McDonalds for ice cream and stopped at the grocery store for some ice and then headed home and to bed. Lovely day.
