We are in the desert! "You will find that the Sonoran Desert extends into Canada from Osoyoos Lake to Skaha Lake and then westward up the Similkameen Valley towards Keremeos. The desert is approximately 15 miles long. The average rainfall is less than 12 inches per year and summer temperatures can rise to over 100 degrees."

Comment by Greg Loftus ( Cominco) on September 17, 2008 at 6:52pm: Guy I have added a video on my home page here that is about baking. I added it because the woman doing the baking is wearing a kayak naked t shirt in the second half. Cheers Greg

Comment by GuyThaLizard on August 26, 2008 at 8:41pm: Virtual Paddle

Greg, I just found this video kind of cool.

Comment by GuyThaLizard on August 26, 2008 at 8:36pm: And here I thought we had the only desert in Canada.

Virtual Paddle would be cool, would probably have to have a good detail map of the world. maybe www.everytrail.com might be able to be integrated into it or something like that.

Comment by Greg Loftus ( Cominco) on August 25, 2008 at 9:24am: News for you. |The entie NWT and Nunavut are really deserts as we get less than ten inches of percipitation per year and there is a desert in Carcross, Yukon that is only 35 miles long or something like that. Thye desert in Carcross used to be advertised as the worlds smallest desert but I'm not sure if it is.
Virtual paddle seems like a fun way to map your travels I wonder what type of software we would need. Winter project perhaps.
