What to do next?

This was a very hard day. We woke up and quickly learned about the state of the fires in the Okanagan, especially around Kelowna. The fires in the area grew one hundred fold in just 24 hours. Thousands more were evacuated from their homes in Kelowna. We spent the day at The Enchanted Forest (I will update a footprint on that later), and while we were there, BC issued travel restrictions to the central interior portion of the province. We expected to have to change our plans, and Chris and I really wavered back and forth about turning back. Highway 1 was closed for a portion of the drive due to the Lower East Adams Lake Wildfire. After a lot of planning and an immense amount of emotions, we decided to go on with a detour to bypass the fires in the area and avoid stops in the central interior of the province. We have planned for alternate routes out of the area and are going to keep our ears to the ground about the changing conditions.
We were fortunate enough to get into our campground 1 day early. So we pulled into Capilano River RV Park around 1:30am. Set up one of three tents and crashed for the night.Baca lagi
