That’s their time. It’s there time up there. Right now it’s our time…it’s our time down here. That pretty much sums up how I felt about a work-related stuff back home and my tour. It’s my time down here. I … Continue reading Day 4: Goonies R Good Enough
Goonies never say die. After two long days on the road I was surprisingly up and alert when my alarm went off at 7am. I’m getting pretty good at the early morning starts. I was able to pack Midnight, suit … Continue reading Day 3: Don’t Stop Me Now
I can’t believe I waited ten years to stay in Radium. I loved the overnight stay there and the morning was even better. I enjoyed a coffee on my balcony and breathed in the fresh mountain air before getting ready … Continue reading Day 2: Lord Don’t Slow Me Down

Wednesday, July 16, 2014 I feel that I haven’t adequately painted a picture of just how hot it is here, and the effect is has on….well, everything. It has been 37 degrees every day since I got to Oliver. Even … Continue reading Day 7: Canned Heat
Tuesday, July 15, 2014 The mission for the day was to tour some wineries around Summerland and Naramata. We were up bright and early, and after a quick breakfast we were on our way north at about 9:00am. #1- 8th … Continue reading Day 6: Just One Drink
Monday, July 14, 2015 Just like Miles and Jack in the film Sideways, my buddy Scott and I met up in the Okanagan Valley to tour wineries and hang out. Scott and I have been friends since Kindergarten, and it … Continue reading Day 5: Lazaretto
