As has been my habit of late, I’ve been taking a little extra time getting home after my work week at the Lodge. Camera in hand, I’ve decided to explore some of the viewpoints and vistas that serve as the backdrop to my weekly commute. In the past, I would Continue Reading
Sun, Rain, And A Little Snow. Nothing Like Summer In The Kootenays
You know the old saying “If you don’t like the weather in the mountains, just wait 15 minutes” has held especially true the last couple of days. Not that I’m complaining… Far from it. I’m all for some rain to take the edge off a long hot summer. What’s striking Continue Reading
Home for a Rest…
Got some new skins for the Golf on Tuesday from my good friend McBain at Integra Tire in Castlegar. I had stopped in for my obligatory Chai Latte at Starbucks and been informed by the baristas that I’m a “memorable guy” which is why they remembered what I like to Continue Reading

Sunday at the Lodge
After all the hot weather we’ve been having lately, todays cool change was especially welcome. The threat of a forest fire sparked by lightning is ever present and a tangible possibility. While the weather is quiet at the moment, it could all change within a matter of hours. While I Continue Reading
Fighting Fire With Helicopters
Interesting day at the Lodge today. Reports of smoke on the western flank of Shannon Ridge were met with an Initial Attack crew being deployed to the site. I got word from JP that they were planning on using the Lodge as a resource and staging area to deal Continue Reading
