APR 4, Sunday, Happy Easter in Moses Lake, WASH.
This morning, we spent getting organized to cross into Canada such as taking an inventory of our booze and checking to ensure we don’t have anything that is not allowed. In the afternoon, we went geo-caching, finding 17 of them and taking a closer look at Moses Lake area at the same time. A neat place indeed! Temperature wise, it went up to 58*F (14*C) but the wind was cold reducing the effect. Now we are relaxing and awaiting a call from Audrey and Marcel as they are in Osoyoos, we believe and we want to connect.
APR. 5, Monday, Border crossing and Osoyoos, BC
We left Moses Lake under blue sky and hit I-90 east. We turned off on Hwy 281 then 28 approx. half hour after leaving Moses. The road was very good and the scenery absolutely spectacular especially when we entered the Columbia Canyon/gorge just before arriving in Wenatchee. Here we got on Hwy 97 north all the way to the border. I am glad we came this way because as we got further north, the snow level was very low and had we taken our usual route, hwy 17, we would have been driving in snow. We hit a bit of rain just before Oroville and stopped here for fuel and stock up on groceries.
At the Canadian border, we had to get rid of all our vegetables, a value of approx. $50. What a p....off! Then we were on way; we arrived at Island View Resort around 2:30 pm and began setting up on Marcel and Audrey’s lot when they arrived so the celebration began. A great day overall and to top it all, we have a great view of the lake and Osoyoos.
We travelled 338 KM (211 miles) in 5 hours @ an average speed of 48 mph
N 49* 01’ 20”
W 119* 25’ 57”

APR. 6, Tuesday, Osoyoos
A lazy morning....never got up until 9:30 am! After a slow morning, we made arrangement with Marcel and Audrey to meet them later at the local pub. We went to town, filled my propane tank, bought a “pay as you go” cell phone then we went geo-caching. After finding seven, we met Marcel and Audrey at the local pub and proceeded to get smashed. We were supposed to have dinner together but after all the Nachos and other goodies we had, we postponed dinner to tomorrow. Everyone was full on food and booze so we went home. I set up Val’s phone and re-connected our regular cellular
Audrey came over around 7 pm and got Val to go for a walk.
APR. 7, Wednesday, Osoyoos
I woke up this morning with a really bad sinus cold. I hate those as they really make feel miserable. Anyway, I showered and took Tucker for a walk then went into town to find a walk-in clinic only to find out there is none here and I would have to go to Oliver, about 30 miles from here. I came back home and basically spent the whole day in house. Val visited with Marcel and Audrey and had a good time; I went over for a few minutes but then came home and slept most of the day. We had them over for dinner then they went back to their rig and watched a movie; Val went over and I went to sleep.
I got propane this morning and made reservations to our next camp site in Winfield, BC
