Burnt
Loyal Kraut-friend Chris, whom I have known from the old days in British Columbia mailed me this about the fires near Kelowna:
Just in case you're curious, Okanagan Mountain Park is now history. (Remember the park around Rattlesnake Island?) Our fire is threatening
houses along Lakeshore in the Mission (the expensive ones) and has
completely covered the mountain and is now on the verge of Naramata. [friends in Naramata] are on a 1 hour evacuation notice
(last I heard anyway). Chute Lake Lodge, as far as I can tell, is either
gone or on the edge of the fireline. This is one big fire.

The park was a beautiful, wild place that was difficult to get to (no good roads) and was best accessible via boat. I've only been there once or twice in my lifetime.
And now it's gone.
