The only good downing Dew now would be to put out the fire. Wonder how the foaming action would work
with a Martin Mars bomber? I'm not even going to add the obligatory "LOL", this is just plain sad.
What you're looking at is the very last of the trails in the Kelowna area. Looks like I'll be seeing
a lot more of the Colnalgo this coming season.

The bike camp that Gabrielle and I were going to go to in Rossland next weekend has been cancelled
this year due to total forest closures in BC. wah!!!

We've had a bunch of those in SoCal. You know, land of the fires, riots, earthquakes, mud slides...
The vegetation comes back really fast and before you know it you're complaining about how overgrown
everything is again. Buy black riding gear, doesn't show the charcoal as much.

The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

Fire Trestles Destroyed by Fire September 4 - 7:29 pm MINISTRY OF FORESTS PRESS RELEASE - The
Okanagan Mountain Park fire is estimated to be 22,840 hectares in size. Resources in place include
650 fire-fighters, 19 helicopters and 197 pieces of heavy equipment.
At a 2:00 PM B.C. Forest Service Operations meeting today the following update was provided.
There has been a significant amount of damage done to the historic Kettle Valley Railway trestles.
The full extent of the damage is not known at this time due to the dense smoke within the Myra
Canyon; however we do know that five trestles have been destroyed. Every effort is being made to
protect this very important piece of British Columbia's heritage.
The complications that are adding to the intense fire behavior are the steep box canyon and the
considerable amount of fuel, both natural and man-made. These trestles are completely or partially
made from creosoted timbers, which are like timbers soaked in kerosene. Once these fuels are
ignited, they are virtually impossible to extinguish. The heavy lift helicopters worked to coat the
trestles with long term fire retardant this morning. Good progress was made but the effect of those
efforts remains to be seen. Crews worked to consolidate fire lines by burning off the forest fuels
between the Kettle Valley right of way and the southern fire front. These operations have been very
successful today. Full new release

But assuming this trail is typical of those Shaun rides - the elevated boardways, ladders, ramps,
teeters etc. aren't gona grow back, are they?

Nope, GT (Pacific) said they would sell me one if I'm lucky. What a bunch of [censored]! Oh well, the
trials are either burnt or off limits because of extreme fire hazard. I wish GT all the luck in the
future (burn in hell) LOL!
