Drove south of Kelowna to hike a section of the Kettle Valley Railway which is accessed by a logging road so the ML was put through its paces and is now v/dirty but looks like a proper 4x4!
In 2003 there was a massive forest fire in the area which burnt around 250 homes and was getting pretty near to the city before it was put out, but the area is starting to regenerate and all the trestle bridges which were built in the 1900's have been restored ...Definately an area for biking in the summer as its lovely and flat and you can carry on down to the lake and the vineyards around Naramata...
Hats off to the original builders - the biggest bridge is 220m long and 55m high - unfortunately no picture as batteries ran out in the camera b...probably due to the fact that it was brass monkeys!Eventually got back to the ML to defrost...loving those heated seats!
Critter count: 2....just! a chipmunk and a squirrel.... given the lack of BIG animals have decided to broaden the criteria so things look more positive...who says you don't learn anything in management!?
