no, but you are a big freakin’ lake.
Howdy Calgary!!!
So, the first stretch of the 60km Kelowna chapter of the Weekend to End Breast Cancer is done: 10km through downtown Kelowna and along a Knox Mountain to the Paul’s Tomb recreation area. It was a windy afternoon/evening and the rain was pleasantly light and sporadic. Lovely weather for a hike.
I know I said I’d do more writing on my September 8th hike, but since I went back out the following weekend (Sept. 15/16) to hike the ridge again plus camp for my birthday, I figured I would combine it all into one post.
(plus I’ve obviously been a combination of lazy and busy if I am only getting around to writing about my birthday camping weekend 6 days after the fact)

4000km since March 28, 2005.
Excuse me while I pat myself on the back. 
This coming weekend Jen & I are going to walk/hike 60kms. As we couldn’t join my family in Calgary for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, we are going our 60km this coming weekend around Kelowna.
We are planning 10 km for tomorrow night around downtown and up Knox Mountain to the Paul’s Tomb recreation area. Knox Mountain is at the north end of downtown Kelowna and overlooks the city and the Okanagan Lake.
Then Saturday we are heading down to the Myra-Bellevue trails just south of town. A large portion of this area was devastated by the massive fires of 2003; the black trees and the amazing regrowth make it a really neat area to hike through. We are planning to do 25kms in this area and then after heading home for a quick refresh doing another 5km around our neighbourhood.
Sunday will see us walking from our current home to our new home over in Westbank. This trek will take about 21km and seems like a charming and fitting end to the weekend. We’ll take lots of pictures and check back in on Sunday night. Or throughout the weekend if we feel ambitious!
