Learning To Ride As A Passenger On A Motorcycle

By: Susan Gerle
I got invited to do an afternoon ride on a 1500cc Kawasaki Touring Bike recently. Up until then the biggest bike I had ever been on as a passenger was a 650cc Yamaha and it was only for about 40 minutes.

Watch Out For Rattlesnakes While Hiking In Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park In Vernon, BC

By: Susan Gerle
One of the nicest hiking areas in the Okanagan Valley of BC is in Kalamalka Lake Park. There are a number of entrances and trails in the park. My favorite trail begins at the red gate and is called Cosen’s Bay. It is situated about 3 kilometers from the north end of Kalamalka Lake and has some parking available at the trailhead.
