I made Vadie breakfast then headed north to look at the Biosphere 2.

This facility was created so scientists could better understand how natural environments can create habitable conditions for us humans.  Biosphere 1 is the planet we live on.

In 1991, for a 2 year period, six people were camping out in the Sphere, to live in there without any outside interference.   Although some called the study a success, others called it a failure, but then that is good – we would not want everyone to agree with each other.

Special people – Uncle Joey, Deanna, and his children Cathy  and Joanne (Mike her husband).  This is Vadie’s uncle whom we try to see whenever we head to the Okanagan.
