Select New Photo Gallery Nakusp Drive and Dip Weekend September 6 & 7, 2008 Tour Leader: Pete This has become an annual weekend drive over some great Miata roads in the beautiful West Kootenays to Nakusp for a dip in one of BC's best hot springs. A few members made it a day trip but most of the group stayed the night in Nakusp and took part in the Sunday activities. First on the Sunday agenda was a visit to the Hills Garlic Festival in New Denver, where 1960’s refugees and the heavenly smells of garlic and food abounded. Next was a side trip to the ghost town of Sandon where gold mines once flourished.
