We are into some nice weather as we.. Kelowna is just too busy. A stop light every block, no easy way to go around the city. Just not my cup of tea. Wont go there unless I absolutey have to.

Not much different than Saskatoon, it`s getting far too busy with line ups at every stop light. The price of progress can be high.

Yes I guess it is. I would much rather go to Kamloops than Kelowna.

Great looking pics Sherm, makes me a little envious. It has been a long time since I have been on a trip with my bike.

I`m so glad I live out of town but close enough I can be in town in 10 minutes and far enough away for peace and quiet with plenty of my own personal space.

I live in town but there is nothing much here. It is nice that we are about 1 1/2 hrs. away from whatever we need.

Like you I like my peace and quiet, being right beside pavement is great too.

Pavement out front of the yard. River a long stones throw from the back. Small town.

The one thing I miss is a river close by for boating but I can`t have everything. At least I`m only a half hr away from water.

No boating in the river here. Maybe a kayak in the spring when it's high. Lots of tubes going down it in the summer. I do a good deal of fly fishing in it once it comes down in the summer. Less than a 5 minute walk from home.

Morning Fellas. Ditto the weather comments from yesterday

Colin, those pics were from at least 4 years ago I think. Since that we did one more trip on my HD Road King to Vancouver Island and back, then the bike got sold as we needed a 2nd vehicle for all season use. I miss the bike, but doubt that we'll get the opportunity for another road trip until the kids are self sufficient. It would sure be my preferred way to travel if given the choice

Hope everyone has a great day, only one more to the weekend!!

Happy Thursday mornin'all. getting a root canal today, whoohoo! We also love where we live, for now. Looks like it'll be 5 yrs before they start to develop the land in front of our house. They are getting quite a bit of flack from the neighbor hood. Lot size's and development access/traffic control issues, are a major concern. Have a great day guy's.
