The Okanagan valley in March will be slightly warmer & a bit sunnier. We may still have some snow left. We're being affected by another El Nino in the Pacific Ocean this year. Warmer winter but we could get killed by late winter storms in March or April. It would be awful for you to come at a crummy time of the year & get a bad impression. Overall, it's a great place to live. Vancouver Island would probably have better weather. Lots to see & do there. If you're a skiier, Mt. Washington's a good place to go.

No. 2 answer is the rest of the year is already booked up with <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/BusFusion/bfhome.htm"> BusFusion,</A> Ille de Madeleine and various other VW camper camping events, and of course I have a business repairing these lovely Westys and the spring, summer and fall are my BUSY season ! Soooooooo off to BC in March we go. The train came about 'cause the S.O. got enough points from buying stuff for three tickets back and forth on the train ! How about that ! So it does pay to remember to get those points. I was always buggin' her about the useless waste of time looking after those points. Well, I've had to eat my words and rethink my position on that issue ! Rita just mentioned the other day that her interest would be to visit the Okanagan and I said I didn't think there was anyone on the List from there, well, I guess there are Lister all over the globe. So Dennis you just may see us in early March. As for the winter camping, BTDT ! See what we were up to in Algonquin Park back in November by going to <A HREF="http://www.ofoto.com/Welcome.jsp">Ofoto</A>, goto members sign-in, log in using [BusFusion@aol.com] for the e-mail address and [busfusion] for the password. Then look at the Mew Lake Camping photos ! We will check with Westminster VW to see if those Westys their renting come with auxiliary heaters. If not we will get one of those electric ceramic heaters so we should be fine. So what's the weather likely to be in the Okanagan in early March ? Maybe we should change our plans and go to Vancouver Island instead ! Seems to me there are Listers out there we can go and bug also ! Meanwhile I gotta get back to working on Chris's new Syncro so he can use it the beginning of March !
