Reflections on Kal Lake

The sun was in the right place for this colourful foto captured yesterday, just before noon, looking down on Kal Lake from one of the many incredibly scenic viewpoints along the old highway. Check out my previous (March 15th) post regarding the condition of these viewpoints.

The Scenic Route View of Kalamalka Lake

The old highway drive from the Kekuli Bay Provincial Park campground turnoff to Kalamalka Lookout provides spectacular roadside views of  Kalamalka Lake. Unfortunately, the foreground view at all the numerous pullouts along that stretch of road is always strewn with all sorts of garbage and filth. We've returned stolen goods found there twice in the past three years.This spring, I turned in remnants of a weapon that was discarded. It's unfortunate that this area, that offers such incredible views of Kalamalka  Lake, is largely ignored, in spite of it's proximity to Vernon and Kekuli Bay Provincial Park.  It's time some attention was paid to this section of road that's been largely ignored since the highway was upgraded. Garbage cans, strategically placed at all the pullouts, would be a good start.
