Nicola River off Voght Street, Merritt BC

So, so this Labour Day weekend in Merritt, British Columbia is moderately warm, hot and calm with a coolness of evaporation of water felt on your skin in most places.

To enjoy these moments we took a walk about a half a block down Garcia Street to the Nicola River and we were delighted to see flocks of wood  ducks coming down the river and, lo and behold. This fella shows up in a kayak who had been obviously driving ducks down the river, Both him and another both were delighted with The 8-hour 25 km paddle from the dam at Nicola lake to the bridge on Voght Street in Merritt.

Indian summer

Although the Federal government can only call it indigenous  summer the term is understood and well into October some years the term is realized in warm to hot daytime and cool evenings and nights. We look forward to its presence in our city at 600 m above sea level in the South Central interior of British Columbia, Canada. We hope that you enjoy similar pleasant weather wherever you may be at this time.
