By the way if you by right on the river it stays a bit cooler in the summer, you get a nice breeze moving down river a lot of the time.

Any way good luck in finding a house.

No realtor yet Bill. Still in the looking stage. Yes, some late springs and early winters there but I enjoyed all of my time in Thompson.

I will keep that in mind.

Thanks for the offer. May do when the time comes. We are still just looking, until the kids make the final decision. I think they are going out in a month to look for a place.

I was even looking at a place up in Blue River but thinks thats to much commute.

Blue river get a tun of snow cold and alot of mosketoes in the summer if you think Manitoba has alot wait till you see Blueriver. Clearwater is a bit better and you can still get a good deal on a house there. I looked a 3600sf house there they only wanted 170 for it mundyou that was when we came back here, but in Kamloops it would have went for 400 - 500k.

Heh,heh. After 30 yrs. driving to and from Thompson, including multi trips ever winter out west for bowling, not much in the way of highway travel can surprise me. Yea, dont need those skitters anymore Bill.

Its a bit to far away anyways. At one time though somewhere like that would be my preference but not my wifes.

I,m off to look for Clearwater Bill.

Have you considered Vernon? Only an hour drive south of Kamloops. Three lakes to enjoy in the summer, great ski hill Silver Star. Not quite as crazy as Kelowna for Real Estate.

Actually we have talked about it but not looked at real estate there. If not someplace in the middle may be nice.
