Family Vaca - Day 5

Headed out of Oliver and out West to Vancouver. We loaded up on several pounds of fresh fruit and enjoyed the scenic ride from Princeton on down to Hope. Some nice orchards, beautiful farms, a yellow lake, something about Manning Mogul Munchers.


Stopped in to view the Hope slide. In 1965, the slide sent over 60 million cubic yards of pulverized rock, mud, and debris 280 ft deep and 1.9 miles wide crashing down the 6,600 ft mountainside, completely displaced the water and mud in the lake below. Just imagine 1.5 million semi trucks rumbling down the hill.


Hey look, a young hippie in Hope.
