Camping Trip - Sugar Lake, BC

Another favourite Okanagan activity for us is camping. We joined Don, Nicole and the girls, along with 3 other families on a camping trip up to Sugar Lake - about 2 hours NE of Kelowna. We love camping, so it was nice to get all our gear out of boxes and put it to use again. The tent was as comfy as usual and sitting around the fire was fantastic. And of course, the food was amazing. Either cooked on the fire pit, or on the BBQ's, you just tend to eat all day long while camping.
Some managed to get out on little fishing trips, but unfortunately, Don had caught all the fish in the lake apparently - at least so he claims!
Don also had 2 Quads and was looking for a partner to accompany him on a ride. So, I thought I would help him out. We took off and gained a lot of altitude (4000 ft) on the little logging roads and trails. These things really fly too, as I had mine up to 90km/h on the trails and apparently was up on two wheels often while cornering!! Some great views along the way, but then the rains came. Heavy big drops that turned into hail. It was tough riding as it felt like little rocks being thrown at you at high speed. We suffered through the pain though and had a great ride. *Stub
