my brother and his girl moved to rossland (on the mtn above trail) so that they could afford a house (2000 sq/ft for $80,000) and run their own business at home. so now when i come home in the summers i now have a place to stay in the boundary country, and a base for exploring the kootenays, the similkameen, the okanagan, the spokane area... swimming at osoyoos, riding bikes on the old abandoned kettle valley railway, visiting wineries... cant wait to get home, i miss BC and the PNW so bad.
