Heat wave in British Columbia Canada
by Editor on 06/26/21
British Columbia is entering a historic heat wave with temperatures in the 40s in the South Okanagan...
- Protect yourselves with the essentials:
- Sunglasses (our choice is Liberty Sport performance eyewear)
- Sunscreen: SPF 1 million LOL
- Wear a hat (Hey Di, where's your hat?)
- Stay hydrated (water, not alcohol)
- Find a lake
Di scores 5 out of 6
No matter how you look at it, Celsius or Fahrenheit: That's HOT!
Mountain roads

Diane and I left the desert in search for cooler temperatures, time to explore some mountain roads!

AREA 27 Race Track
by Editor on 06/18/21
While out exploring the South Okanagan, I found the entrance to Area 27 Motorsports Park in Oliver British Columbia, but was only able to get this close as it's a Private member based facility.
If the opportunity presented itself, I'd love to showcase the Jacques Villeneuve designed race track with our camera bike capturing all 4.83 kilometers of it for our viewers.

Both Diane and the Sasquatch were as still as a statue when they spotted each other, luckily I was able to shoot this photo in time.
"The hide & seek champion of the world"
Real or backdrop
by Editor on 06/14/21
Question: Does this picture look real or is the bike layered on top of a computer generated backdrop?

Time Flies...
by Editor on 06/05/21
We originally planned to be offline for 7 days but that quickly turned into 14, time flies when you're having fun!
We've explored many roads over the years but this was our first time we checked out Highway 3A between Kaleden (near Penticton) and Keremeos. It's only 35 kilometers in length but it's packed full of scenery!
This is Yellow Lake.
My Motorcycle accident anniversary
by Editor on 05/21/21
I'm so very grateful to be alive...
Twenty three years ago today I was involved in a near fatal motorcycle accident when a tow truck turned left in front of me and changed my life forever.
I spent the next 2 1/2 months in the hospital while doctors worked on my legs at the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster and then the Burns and Plastic ward at Vancouver General Hospital.
On Aug 6th I was released and sent home in a wheelchair to build up strength to prepare for the next round of surgeries. At my first doctors appointment my orthopedic surgeon gave me two options, the first being amputation of my left leg above the knee and get me fitted for a prosthetic leg, then rehab and be up and around in 4-6 months. The second many surgeries while they rebuild my legs meaning I would be non weight bearing and stuck in the wheelchair until the bone graphs were completed. The damage to my left leg was so severe that even after all the operations were completed a full recovery wasn't even a possibility. This was complicated further by contracting the MRSA Super bug while in the hospital, the infection is in the bone. Due to the amount of surgeries that needed to be preformed it would take approximately a year and a half to complete and because of the infection there were no guarantees the leg could be saved.
I thanked him for everything he had done for me thus far and for giving me the choice, and said without a doubt option two. He asked me if I was sure because most people wouldn't want to have to go through what you're about to to try and save a leg. I told him that I'd rather try everything possible, have all the operations to rebuild my leg and if some where down the line that I did have to have it amputated because of infection then I would know it was the only option and there would be no wondering "What if." Option number one would have always had the "What if " factor and I wan't wanting to have that...
He smiled and said, "I thought so."
