i just found out about big ed and a ton more marked, built and buff trails in the area above kal park in vernon. When news like this hits my ears, it prompts a mission. so, there was a mission. I met Patrick at his place in vernon and we headed up king edward fsr. big ed was right where he was supposed to be.
Like i said, the trail is built and buff. here is the end of a log ride i couldn't take pictures of until i was off it.
and an action shot. so actiony and action filled it was blurry.
in case you can't tell, that's me killing another log ride.
one of the coolest spots wasn't rideable, unless you had a parachute or a hang glider. thats 'cause it was a parachute or hang glider launch. what a view of the valley.
we ripped for about 2 hours. what a solid run on a great day. and the weekend was not even half over.
Sunday, named ofter the sun presumably. and a sun-day it was. christine and i decided to explore postill lake via canoe. i don't usually make it that far up the road, because the drop in for addiction is quite a bit lower, but i was glad we did. turns out to be a great place for a day canoe.
the shoreline was kinda weird. not the normal log jammed shore i was used to on the resorvoir lakes of the thompson plateau. the weird stripes looked like set of stairs, not at all natural looking.
i guess i should mention the forest fire. we watched it grow from a whisp of smoke to a pretty crazy scene. the picture of the smoke didn't turn out, but this is one of the 8 or 9 aircraft that were on scene.
at the end, we were assaulted by a bunch of very cute but persistent ducks. one almost got in the canoe, and they were all so close that paddling was pretty tricky without knocking a duck
well, that was the weekend. i hope the next one is as sweet.
