Wildlife watching and picking for icewine

Highways up from the coast clear all the way, but icy through Manning Park to Princeton. Light traffic so smooth sailing. Spotted a massive moose crossing highway. No antlers but looked too big to be a cow. In Similkameen valley saw a black bear beside the road heading down to the river. Almost every trip we see wildlife.  A note on the highway cam (BC road condition site) that a lot of animals were on the highway between Hedley and Keremeos but didn't spot any.  Usually we get a glimpse of Mountain Goats grazing on that section.

Off to get pics of our team picking frozen grapes for icewine. Gotta hurry as it'll warm up soon as the sun is very strong.  -5C on the scale outside the living room window.
