Finally, an easy crossing in to the US. The border officer took a quick look in the fridge and we were free to go. To Kettle Falls, Washington which is 45 miles south of the border and Christina Lake, BC.

We had planned to spend one night. Until we were reminded that this is the Memorial Day weekend in the US and the roads and campgrounds will all be busy. So we paid for a couple more nights. Also, the campground owner has taken a liking to Ron and has offered us a free night. We will probably take advantage and stay until Monday.

Meyers Falls at Kettle Falls, WA

Kettle Falls is near Lake Roosevelt which was formed when the Grand Coulee Dam was built. The original town and the 'kettles' of the Kettle Falls are now under this lake. We have toured and driven along a large portion of the area and yesterday we took a short ferry ride across the south end of the lake. It is a very picturesque area! There are plenty of lumber mills and logging is the main industry.

one of the oldest continuously operating waterpower developments

And, we chuckled at the town sign.

The grouch is elected each June during the Town and Country Days. One dollar, one vote. Another sign that made us laugh was at the local pub. "We speak Canadian".
Eh???

Right now we are off to pick up another bottle of wine. It was pretty damn good for $4!
