When I saw all the spots from spraying the windshield, my first thought was minerals in the water, yet it did not seem to make sense when they were on municipal water. Then again, this was 35 miles from Kamloops and where we are now is 2 hrs north so "municipal" may a loose designation based on each areas water standards. I did look up Calcium Carbonate and found that BC's water is rich with it in their water:

We move on again tomorrow and move 5 hrs northeast over into Alberta…maybe that'll be the tale tell?
Thanks for your comments.

It could be that you had water high in Calcium Carbonate. This is common in wells that pull from a limestone aquifer. In the Black Hills of South Dakota, there is a very short water fall called Cascade Falls. The water originates in a spring about two miles upstream. As the water cascades, the churning releases the calcium and the oxygen resulting in effervescence, calcium deposits, and dense water that makes you float high when you swim. It's kind of neat.
