Rolled into town (more like sputtered) Monday morning looking accross the valley at the smoking ridge that my house sits on.
It was the longest 22 hr drive of my life. Usually takes 18-19 hours to drive from Terrace to Kelowna but I didn't want to push my failing head gasket (it actually failed on the way up to Terrace) so i was cruising at around 85kph most of the way home.
Fishing could have been better, we were about a week early but the 2 fish I did bring home (12lbs and 27lbs) are as shinny as a new dime (pics to follow)
We are currently on Evacuation Alert in my neighbourhood and things are looking like we should be in the clear in a few days (if the wind stays down). We went through this drill 2 years ago when the ridge just above Rose Valley Lake burned so there was not as much panic/hysteria this time.
Any how.... just an update.
