Be Safe Out There!
It's week 3 of August, and we hope you are fairing ok with the smoke in the air and they fires nearby. 20 years ago this week was the start of the Okanagan Mountain Park fire - hard to believe - and it seems that was the start to the Sm-Okanagan summers.
Now - here we go again with Fires in Kelowna, West Kelowna and More.
Here is a resource to help you prepare just in case
With permission from J.P. Squire, (aka The Sheriff) we are happy to include some SOS (Secret Okanagan Spots)
Sometimes a Secret Okanagan Spot might be better left as a secret for the protection of "ordinary people."
That was the debate recently when the Sheriff returned to a favourite Myra Canyon spot to be included in the SOS series.
This small pond is located uphill of Crosby Road in Kelowna on the southern border between the Wilden residential neighbourhood in the Glenmore Highlands and the northern border of a largely undiscovered public park called Knox Mountain East. The trail on the western edge is overgrown but a perfect place to watch the numerous birds which call it home.
Virtually everyone walks, hikes or bikes past this week's second Secret Okanagan Spot. It's a series of rocky ledges perfect for lunch or a break while admiring trestle no. 1 at the June Springs forest service road end of the Myra Canyon, some say is the most scenic section of the Trans Canada Trail.
J.P. shares his thoughts on the Castanet site and you can find more details here.
