Spotted Lake

On our recent trip through the Okanagan we passed through the town of Osoyoos which is right in the vineyard/desert part of southern BC only a few minutes drive from the US border. It is also home to a unique in North America phenomenon called Spotted Lake. Created by alkali mud and some sort of magic this lake is filled with hundreds of small pools of water year round. Its now a sacred native site so we had to sneak a bit to get a good look, but that's a better fate than the alternate plan which had been for private companies to package the mud and sell it off in beauty care products...
