Forest Fires
You might say that Vernon BC has recently become a ‘Vacation Hotspot’.
It’s literally burning up out there.
560 forest fires currently burning in BC. And Vernon right in the middle of them.
Over the years we’ve have been very lucky with the weather and such on our Holidays.
But this was going to be different.
We knew about the fire situation before we left. There was already a lot of smoke in Calgary.
We thought we’d give it a chance anyway.
Heading through the mountains

Imagine coming all the way from Europe or some other country to see the Rockies.
And you can’t see them!
Then it started to rain!!
Pretty soon it was almost as dark as night. Everybody turned their headlights on.
On the other side of the Rockies (BC) we finally broke out.
Maybe things were going to be OK after all?
We’ll see …
