Twin Lakes Golf Resort, Kaleden, BC

From Lake Chelan State Park we drove north toward Canada.  We finally found evidence of the wildfires.  The hills around the city of Chelan were all black.

We got our last US gas just before the border, in Oroville, Washington.

Just before we crossed the border, I texted Randy to let him know we'd be at Twin Lakes around 2:00.  He said they had run into some stormy weather and wouldn't be there until about 4:00.

As we drove northwest on Highway 3, we started to see some threatening-looking clouds.

Fortunately, the storm never reached us.


When we arrived at Twin Lakes we went into the pro shop, where we had been instructed to check in.  As it turned out, we didn't need to stop there.  And we wish we hadn't.  Because when we came back out to the parking lot we discovered that someone had hit the side of our truck and then left the scene.

The RV park was very nice.  There were no fancy amenities, but the setting, right next to the golf course, was really pretty.

We set up our RV but it was still early in the afternoon, so we drove to check out Penticton.  We also looked for the RCMP station.  We found it, but it was closed on Sunday.

Randy and Romana arrived a little after 4:00.  They were in the space right next to us. 

We had dinner together that evening in our trailer.  While we were eating, a wind storm came up.  The winds were amazingly strong, causing the trailer to rock.  By bed time the wind had died down, and the park was very quiet.

The next morning it was 42 degrees.  After a poo walk with Taffy, their dog, Romana went in their truck to visit her parents in Penticton.  We also went into Penticton to report the accident.  We then got sandwiches at the Safeway and found a park to have lunch.  The weather was beautiful and sunny.

We then drove along Okanagan Lake to Naramata, the end of the road.  All along the edge of the lake there were wineries.

We then drove to Okanagan Falls

 and then had ice cream at Tickleberry's

From there we drove to Vaseux Lake, a wildlife refuge.  There weren't many waterfowl, but it was a pretty lake.

Hoping to see some bighorn sheep, we took the back road along the east side of Skaha Lake.  No luck finding any sheep.  But it was a pretty drive.

Romana was having dinner with her parents, so Randy joined us.  That evening we saw lots of quail in the park.
