The Fraser River is the longest river in British Columbia, traveling almost 1400 km and sustained by a drainage area covering 220 000 sq. km. Its source is near Mt. Robson on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains in central British Columbia. The Fraser flows southwest, draining into the Pacific Ocean just south of Vancouver. It discharges 112 cubic kilometres of water per year, dumping 20 million tons of sediment into the Pacific (a sediment load of 0.179 kg per cubic metre).
... ya like you know alot about boots and pink boraginaceae ... CAPTAIN BEEFHEART, "For instance, the English language is the only language that has an *i* before *e* except after *c*. What's before an *i*? Before my eyes is a sea. But the *c* I see is a sea. I'm not that word-oriented. I'm trying to use words like music so that they don't take your mind anywhere that I want them to."
This 4,000 person town sits at the northern tip of the American Great Basin Desert which extends all the way to Mexico. The area was established under a land grant in 1921 by the BC Premier "honest" John Oliver, to settle veterans from the First World War. They dammed the river to the north of town and built an irrigation canal (called "the Ditch" by locals). This converted the desert valley floor and hillsides into productive orchards and vineyards. The Fairview Townsite, 3 kilometres west on Fairview Rd, was an 1880s boomtown in the gold rush days but was abandoned in 1906.
The town has a number of golf courses and an 18 kilometre bike trail along the Similkameen River. The valley has fine rivers, lakes and streams for swimming, fishing and boating. Bear and Madden Lakes are known for trout fishing, and Vaseux Lake an Inkaneep provincial parks are nearby... hi ho
Salvador Dali... Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them - On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly - After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them ...
