Site #34 - $25, p/w, Internet cost, Temp 16C
We opted not to go to the State Fair in Yakima but we did go for a great ride on the bike trail. It was dribbling rain or we may have gone further than the 13 km.
The 'ads' for visiting Yakima said you can leave your umbrellas at home, just bring the sunscreen. Unfortunately, we just happened to hit one of those wetter days!
Friday we drove to Lake Chelan State Park. Washington State Parks aren't nearly as nice as the Oregon Parks. This one doesn't really cater to RV's, but it's a great tenter's destination. Tenters can pitch their tents along the lake and there are a series of decks/piers built on the lake for them. We can't see the lake from our campspot and have to walk through the trees and down the hill.
Once again we seemed to have hit some rainy weather. Last night became a 'reading night' inside. It rained pretty hard during the night.
We drove to town for some supplies after lunch. (We are still only traveling 2 - 3 hrs/ day!! Pretty laid back!) This area is very much like Osoyoos area and there are lots of vineyards and wine tasting places all around the lake. Tempting, but we haven't made any stops yet.
Quails are running around the campground and there are a number of walnut trees in this park. We are lucky not to be parked under one of those as we notice the squirrels are busy chucking down walnuts and a couple of the units are being 'bombed' by them! I imagine it would be a little noisy inside!
We are staying a second night here. We did some touring around the lake. And, we stopped at a Blueberry farm for some pie and coffee. Looks like their might be some boat racing taking place today and we will check out the "Falls" and other areas around the lake.
Tomorrow we will head to Osoyoos area but think we will try staying of the US side for something different.
