With the very dry summers here, fire is a constant danger. In the summer of 2003 a very large forest fire ravaged Okanagan Mountain south of Kelowna. It was started by lightening strikes and burned fiercely for several weeks destroying hundreds of homes and tens of thousands of hectares of forest. Also destroyed were many of the historic railway trestles in Myra Canyon. Reconstruction of the trestles is now under way.

Best Place to dine in Kelowna! The Italian Food is World Class! And the service is excellent. Loretta (Chef) and Franco (Maître) are the owners who their son Luigi make the best desert drinks.
well that page jarred !
Nice page on Kelowna. The Veggie Cavier & Wine Jellys sound gr8 & I have never had either. I'll have to check out that website you posted. Thanks for sharing!
Lapin looks like Bing to me, I'll have to ask Gillian about the diff. Lovely vineyards! btw need to join YouTube to listen to Fox :( and I don't want to be on videos! what a drag
Hi, Dave! What a wonderful place to visit, especially if you have friends there...
Look like you had a lot of fun here
good 2 visit again ;-))) need to get there for a wine and food tasting
We waited more than 10 mins and not a single server approach us. We finally couldn't bear it and walked up to one of the servers who then told us that they were full house. It really spoiled our night. They should really improve their customer service.
Good to see that "cheesy" Ogopogo sculpture is still in place. Memories from kidhood ;)
Caramoomel indeed. Never heard of the place. Thanks for sharing.
