A beautiful start to the morning. The Osoyoos Lake is stunning in the quiet early morning light.
A lovely run through vineyards, fruit trees and beside the beautiful lake. Noah and Pete also taking the opportunity of the gorgeous morning to go for a run/walk along the lake.
Time to make the border crossing. As I said before, we would have loved to have stayed longer on the west coast of Canada but unfortunately, the accommodation was just too difficult to confirm. What we have seen has certainly left us wanting more…
I was a little worried about our visa situation but after a short interview with a very helpful, although stern immigration officer we had the visas all fixed. The visas were issued incorrectly for Noah and I when we re-entered the USA from Cuba.
As the immigration officer advised, the airport officers are stamping thousands of passports all day, sometimes mistakes happen. Thank goodness for the departure reminder.
And now, we are back in the USA, back in Washington State.
Our scenery on today’s drive was extremely diverse and as beautiful as ever.
We followed the Okanogan Highlands along the Okanogan Trails Scenic Byway, along with the National Scenic Hwy. From alpine mountains to desert mountains, through small deserted towns and Indian Reserves, past the magnificent Grand Coulee Dam and through huge wheat fields and cattle farms.
A stop for fresh fruit smoothies and lunch in the motorhome along the way.
We drove through the outback towns of Wilbur, Davenport, Creston and many more tiny farming towns, until we reached our destination for tonight, the Ponderosa Falls RV Resort on the outskirts of Spokane.
Once we had checked into the RV Park we drove the short distance to the small town of Cheney where we had a quick drop in to say hello to Jesse Hunt, Dan and Helen Hunts youngest son. He is playing college basketball for Eastern Washington University, with his last year beginning shortly.
As he is sharing an apartment with two other young guys so we did not want to take up too much of their time and we were soon on our way back to the RV Park.
A settle in, a load of washing and then time to relax after a long day in the motorhome.
