Well done Rob

Not sure about the prize though

Free accommodation when you make it out to the Island

Would you like a raincheck?

Happy New Year!

There were several bald eagles circling the summit - VERY impressive

On the way down we saw 25-30 eagles sitting in the trees.

They were a long way away so the third picture is titled "Spot the Bald Eagle"!
Wow, great photos Jo how is it down there today? a little on the 'white' side?

Looks it from these photos.................http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/bchighwaycam/index.aspx?cam=120

We've still got a good covering of snow in Kelowna, and more forecast for tonight...

It was raining this morning and it turned to snow a couple of hours ago so it is little on the "white" side

It is amazing how the weather changes from day to day

Was I REALLY sitting out on the deck yesterday

PS I think you have more snow than us! (at the moment)
