We're sitting in the parking lot waiting to get on a ferry to Vancouver Island. We arrived at 11:30 and the 12:45 sailing was full so hopefully we'll get on the 3:15 sailing which is running late. Since we have internet here, I decided it was a good time to post another blog. We left home yesterday morning and spent the afternoon and night in Manning Park. It is the halfway point to the ferry terminal. We drove for three hours yesterday and three hours this morning. The majority of today's images were taken yesterday in Manning Park.
We are heading to Neil and Carol's in Duncan for a few days then on Monday we'll head up to Seal Bay RV Park near Comox to join RV friends for five nights.
These two photos show some of the devastated vineyards near OK Falls. The cold snap in January killed off a large percentage of the vineyards in the whole Okanagan Valley. These vineyards should be solid green by now but there's not a leaf on them. Every so often you will see some vines that are just fine but those are the hardier species. The industry got lulled into planting less hardy versions in order to make more popular wines.

Deer crossing the Similkameen River in Manning Park. There were four of them at first but just these by the time I got my camera in action.
