August 23, 2017 - Kelowna

Today we drove from Golden, British Columbia thru Glacier National Park of Canada along Canadian Route 1 down to Sicamous, where we then turned onto Route 97A down to Kelowna.  The ride through Glacier was as beautiful as you would expect.  A great day for a drive...sunny, and in the 80's.  Sicamous and route 97A goes along Mara Lake for about 10 miles.  It is a vacation spot for local people.

We finally reached the City Kelowna which is well known for it's wineries in the area.  One of the local residents, Mark, who just happens to be a high school classmate of Tom, took us to 2 award winning wineries, less than 5 miles away.  Tom, Mark and Lewie, another high school classmate who is here from North Carolina enjoyed the day catching up on where we have been all these years.  Tom and Lewie traveled over a combined distance of 6000 miles, and as good planning would have it got together for the day.
