Friday - 16th Vernon, BC

Sandy Beach Campground (Newport Beach)
Site #6 - $26.25, p/w/s, some Internet, Temp 19C

We are camped on the Okanagan Lake. It's a nice spot with a great view. Unfortunately 'Lakeshore Road' runs between the campground and the beach and it appears to be a bit of a drag strip !!

With the weather finally heating up yesterday, the 'cruisers' and speeders were out in full force! On the opposite side of the campground from the beach is the trailer park that Jeff lives in. Very handy walk.

As I write this, Jeff is in Kelowna writing that darn 3 hour IP exam. Ron's comment -- "I've never seen Jeff so uptight about something!". Oh well, it will be celebration time later today! (He won't get results for 3 wks.)

So we met Odin (Jeff's dog!) and we met Christal (Jeff's girlfriend!). Both are cute, friendly, well behaved, lol -- and obviously a very important part of Jeff's life! Christal just started summer school classes in Kelowna and works part time at Home Depot, here in Vernon. They had dinner with us, but left shortly after for more studying.



Ron & I went for a short walk along the beach and then had our campfire. Ron is off on his bike this a.m. It looks like it will be a scorcher with temps in 30's forecasted. Jeff will come for lunch and then he & Christal will join us for supper and campfire this evening. I'm sure he'll be much more relaxed tonight!!

We are leaving Vernon in the a.m. and will head to Dave & Elizabeth's rec property on Cayoosh Creek near Lillooet  which is about 300 km. from here. Kari & family will join us for the rest of the weekend. On Tues, we will begin our Yukon/Alaskan trek!
