Here's Why

Ogopogo!

We arrived in Kelowna two days ago, and yesterday I realized that this is the home of the famous Lake Monster Ogopogo! I've read about the monster in Fortean Times. There's even a video from Monster Hunters at http://www.seesya.com/ taken at Rattlesnake Island, the home of the monster according to native legend. And various blurry photographs. The consensus among the believers in the "snake in the lake" is that its a throwback to primitive whales, and they've found bones of such creatures in the area.
