Kamloops move

[Realshow]

Welcome to Kamloops !
We moved here a couple years ago & love it.
what part of town did you settle in to?

Great news about a successful move, particularly your livestock & tank stuff. Welcome to BC. You might miss Brandon a bit initially, but come December/January, you're going to wonder why you put up with those Manitoba winters for so long. I spent part of my youth in Gimli & most of my teen years plus early military career in Cold Lake, brrr. Both places had their merits, people socialized more & were also friendly but I'm quite certain I made a good decision in moving to the Okanagan. Many more of my favourite activities are close at hand here & I don't get frozen stiff enjoying the winter sports during the cool season.

Sorry Ryan. We went no stop from Brandon to Hinton. I will take a rain check however.

We do like it here already. Except its rained since we came. So much for the desert conditions. It seems like a nice city, easy to get around, lots of places for shopping and restaurants.

I even have my BC drivers license already.

Don't worry. It will be brown, ugly, and arid in no time at all! When August rolls around you might even wind up on evacuation notice due to forest fires. Remember, if you leave your home before the police remove you from your home you'll probably be looted.

That said, I love the area. There is a lot of great fishing close by, and the Highland Valley is absolutely gorgeous. My parents are in Logan Lake, and I'm trying to convince Hubby to move there.

I will be hiding in my office with the air running when its that hot Shelley. Cant take the heat very good anymore like when a young pup. Our neighbours are from Logan. They lived there last 30 yrs and retired to here.

Also will be making lotsa trips to Calgary now. Our sons company just moved him from Hinton to Calgary. They just in process of house purchase.

Red Coral trips.

Sounds mighty familiar Ryan.

Congrats on the move Doug. Hopefully life (and of course reefing) is more enjoyable there for you.
