Vancouver - Ashnola River - Okanagan - Manning - Harrison

[jessef]

Had a great 5-day Canuck day long weekend.

Took Granola, camping gear, picked up Maryna and headed out friday afternoon.

The only thing we had planned was to meet up with friends at Ashnola river on friday night. Aside from that, it was a completely random (let's go here) trip which was great. Love having that random choice / freedom.

We are so lucky to live here. Whole trip scenery was amazing.

Camped at Ashnola River south of Keremeos with some friend fri/sat. Left sunday for Penticton and did the winery thing for day's 3-4. Some nice backcountry camping. Finally was able to take Granola on some semi-serious off roading (ie. mandatory 4x4). Hit a huge thunderstorm right before sunset. Headed back monday and stayed at Manning Park campground. Tues (today) morning woke up and went to Harrison Lake and came home a few hours ago.

Was a great trip. Averaged 11L / 100km.

Did 95 km/h up the entire hill from Manning Park to Princeton. Was impressed.

No kidding eh?! I recall years ago a friend's young son mussed, "Gee dad, wouldn't it be great to win the lottery?" His dad looked at him and replied "Son, you already have..."
And while I was never much of a Brian Mulroney fan I do remember him responding to some petty whining with "Hey, everyone in this country should get on their knees and kiss the ground and thank God they're Canadian!!" I have to agree and am grateful everyday...
Thanks for the pile of trip pictures jfarsang - just great. Love your enthusiasm and contributions to the forum

That would have been me about lunch time, right next to that Merc coupe...I had lunch in Harrison Hot Springs then drove a ways up the east side of the lake. Just to see what was there.
