Silver Star Mountain


We did a little tour today. We were looking for an open house on Silver Star road. We didn't find it but went right up the mountain to the village. Known as a major destination ski area, it is bursting with summer activities as well. There is superb mountain biking, nature hikes and wildlife. The 3 storey houses were painted in multi bright colors.
On the way down, we looked through 2 open houses in the Foothills. Very fancy, $700 and $800,000 with a magnificent view over the Okanagan Valley with Okanagan, Wood and Kalamalka Lakes. Very impressive. Back home for a steak dinner and relaxing on the covered patio with 39 degree heat.
Right by Watson's house is the Historic O'Keefe Ranch. It showcases the western history with it's original buildings and furnishings. You can watch old crafts of blacksmithing and tractor rides come to life and attendants are dressed in period clothes. Myrna and I spent a day there last year and it was very interesting. The original St. Ann's Church had a wedding there on Saturday.
