Well I didn't spend the entire October in Oliver, but had a nice long weekend there to visit my family for Thanksgiving. Thanks to everyone's contributions to the meals!The weather seemed threatening as the weekend approached but we had a beautiful Sunday of perfect hiking weather to hike to the top of MacIntyre Bluff - with 21 geocaches and a picnic, of course. Great view of the town. The subtle differences in natural color in the desert compared to Vancouver's temperate rainforest is refreshing, stirring yet satiating my travel bug (for now). The bleached out grasses accentuate the red sumac and Oregon grape, green pines and bright blue sky.
