2026 Wildfire Season

The Lytton area is just really spectacular viewing and it must have really been something before it has burned repeatedly.
And the very rich history of the Fraser River and the Gold Rush era, the steamboats, the wagon trains, cowboys, mining - to say nothing of the exploits of Simon Fraser himself.
Now - West Kelowna is a different story.
Do you know who this chap is, at an Orchard that he owned but only visited once? He took a train, a boat, and a carriage on his journeys around here. Look at the landscape behind him 130 years ago. Sparse trees, desert grasses. Same as now.

Both regions are hot as hades in the summer, and dry. They always have been.
