We are in the desert! "You will find that the Sonoran Desert extends into Canada from Osoyoos Lake to Skaha Lake and then westward up the Similkameen Valley towards Keremeos. The desert is approximately 15 miles long. The average rainfall is less than 12 inches per year and summer temperatures can rise to over 100 degrees."

Hydraulic Lake 2 Replies

From Penticton; Take Carmi Rd. to 'the 201' and head for Hydraulic Lake. It’s a smallish lake, perhaps a quarter of Skaha, but is much more interesting as it sports a number of islands and is very ...

Comment by Greg Loftus ( Cominco) on September 17, 2008 at 6:52pm: Guy I have added a video on my home page here that is about baking. I added it because the woman doing the baking is wearing a kayak naked t shirt in the second half. Cheers Greg

Comment by GuyThaLizard on August 26, 2008 at 8:41pm: Virtual Paddle

Greg, I just found this video kind of cool.

Comment by GuyThaLizard on August 26, 2008 at 8:36pm: And here I thought we had the only desert in Canada.

Virtual Paddle would be cool, would probably have to have a good detail map of the world. maybe www.everytrail.com might be able to be integrated into it or something like that.

Comment by Greg Loftus ( Cominco) on August 25, 2008 at 9:24am: News for you. |The entie NWT and Nunavut are really deserts as we get less than ten inches of percipitation per year and there is a desert in Carcross, Yukon that is only 35 miles long or something like that. Thye desert in Carcross used to be advertised as the worlds smallest desert but I'm not sure if it is.
Virtual paddle seems like a fun way to map your travels I wonder what type of software we would need. Winter project perhaps.

Comment by GuyThaLizard on August 16, 2008 at 8:30am: Thanks!
I think playak changed the layout a bit on my page so I had to readjust things a bit to align things up/

2,450,000 steps! now that's a lot of steps
=0 (me gasping for air.) keep up the good work. hey, there should be a Virtual Kayak site too.
paddle the bowern lakes from the comfort of your own home.

:)

Comment by Greg Loftus ( Cominco) on August 15, 2008 at 8:45am: Guy next stop on my Virtual walk across Canada is Castlegar I'm approximately 2,450,000 steps into the puppy now and going strong. Castlegar will be toast by next week and then Trail. I like the new look loads fast on my new PC.

Comment by Greg Loftus ( Cominco) on August 13, 2008 at 7:02am: Just thought that this would be a good time to remind you folks to visit www.canadianrivers.net and help save our right to paddle Canadian Waterways. Registering with the site is easy and free and you can them sign the online petition and they will keep you informed as to what is taking place, I have signed the petItion and written my MP, the Minister of Transortation and even Harper hinself. As canadain we take to much crap from our electer represenatives and this needs to be addressed. Should this go through your pleasant paddles on the lake would become illegal activities. Their plan is an insult to any Canadian and we can help stop it, lock and load your computers and get busy sending and signing. Cheers Greg
