Thanks! Ya it's a great drive with a public beach about half way along if you want to stop for a dip in the lake too.

Nice video - thank you. Is that Bastion Mountain behind the poplars and at 3:29?

Can you make a video of Sicamous to Malakwa?

I have actually already recorded a video of that area a couple of weeks back. I should be editing it and posting it soon. Thanks for watching Marilyn.

I go there occasionally but with the travel restrictions it's been over a year. So no videos yet.

At 1:41 the turn off at Baird Bros Gravel is the new Salmon Arm Hill. Hwy. 97B. At 2:26 is Danforth's Corner, named after the original store. That's the old Salmon Arm Hill. Referred to by people in Salmon Arm as the Enderby Hill. At 3:57 we see some brain-dead motorist passing a rig on a a double solid line. This is the worst mistake any motorist can make. Most highway deaths are caused by some one being on the wrong side of the road. At 10:40 you talk about the road being narrow. If people would obey the slow signs and stay on their own side of the yellow line there was nothing wrong with that road. Went we went to look at houses, the realtor in Enderby took us, by boat, from Grindrod to Sicamous because those rock out crops went right into the water. There was no road from Mara to Sicamous. My farther was the powder man who blew those rock faces back from the water. Living on the water, as children, we would stand in the lake and watch the puff of smoke as dad set of the explosives. We would watch the splashes as the big boulders hit the water, then we would duck under the surface and listen to the splashes,. Popping back up again we would listen to the blast echo off the rock cliffs on the West side of the lake. If you take a boat to the West side of the lake and look up at the cliffs, there are ancient hieroglyphics carved into the rocks.
