In this episode I take my van on a road trip to Osooyos for my mom's 65th birthday. I've been doing a ton of work recently to my 1998 GMC Safari van, and this is the perfect excuse to put that work to the test. I literally just finished rebuilding my entire front end with control arms, tie rods, CV shafts and more. And before that I replaced all the brakes, new used heavy duty spring, house battery, and more. It's been a lot of work, so this trip is long overdue. As far as this trip is concerned, I left for Osooyos a day early, giving me time for a night to explore Keremeos. I really like Keremeos, it's mostly considered a drive through town, but there's something about it that I like. I previously did another video in Keremeos that you can watch here -
This trip starts with 300 kilometers of driving, then I stop next to the Similkamen River to check it out. After that I head into town for some supplies, then to another section of river to explore. I find some deer prints and experience Keremeos' legendary wind. Keremeos actually means "Where the 4 winds meet" to the Sylix people. I ended up spending the night riverside after a nice dinner of barbecued farmer sausage and potatoes. In the morning, I headed back to town for breakfast. I found this cool little cafe called Kool Beans, which I had a chai latte and a breakfast sandwich at. This place was awesome. Their walls were filled with local art for sale, the food and drinks were awesome, and the lady that was running it was super friendly. It's definitely worth the stop! After breakfast I explored Keremeos further. I got in a workout at the outdoor gym, saw Amos the bird and took a selfie, then it was off to Pine Park for some disc golf. I've never played disc golf before, but one of my subscribers suggested I play it, so I did! I actually think it's a great way to explore new places, so you'll probably see me play more of it moving forward. I actually met the guy that designed the course while I was playing, and he invited me to an event he was hosting the next day. Unfortunately I had to leave town to get to my mom's birthday. My dad threw a suprise block party for her, which was fun. He hired live music by Diane Ball, unfortunately I can't play it in this video because it's copyrighted... Anyways, it was all together a great trip, and a great way to test the van and to kick off vanlife season.
