Kamloops,BC
8:30AM. 78°F. Clear
We start the day stopping on a heavily travelled road at Monte Lake, BC to search a roadside ledge for agates. Found a number of good samples before heading further south.
We have lunch at McDonald's in Vernon, BC before making the push to the border crossing. The traffic is verrrrrrry slow.
Crossed the US border at about 3 PM in Oroville, Washington. Almost immediately we got cell service back; found a campground about an hour away. Called and made a reservation at Riverbend RV campground in Twisp, WA. What the phone didn't say was there is a mountain range between us and Twisp. The Okanogan Pass rises 1500ft in about 10 miles. The trip up is slow but the trip back down is a thrill. Another no guard rail road along valley drop offs. We pull into Riverbend RV at about 6 PM.
When we drove thru Twisp we saw them rolling in the sidewalks a we quickly unhitch and head into town to fund a place to eat: La Fonda Yucatan.
Back at the Park we meet another Airstreamer who had never seen an Airstream with a slide-out. ( they were only made between 2001-2005 ).
We end the evening by heading to the river to checkout the rocks. Turns out to be yet another mosquitoe feeding area. We don't last long..
