Having fun in British Columbia

Playing around on Dean's Ultralite.

Getting ready for the ride.

High above Lumby, B.C.

Randy was great

Great camping on his acreage.  We would sit and watch the hang gliders, para gliders and ultra lites land all day

Watching this fellow was amazing.  Nothing will hold him back.  What an inspiration.

An old homestead on the way to Mable Lake, B.C.

This is where we camped.  Wrights Beach, Penticton, B.C.  Looking south on the Skaha Lake; what a beautiful spot.

Relaxing at Wrights Beach.

Looking east at Penticton.

This Marmot had a hoot scurrying on the beach.

We encountered this turtle at Sawmill Lake, outside Oliver, B.C.
