We drove about 120 miles to Lake Osoyoos, BC. It was a nice drive even with a slight mistake in directions by Don taking us about 18 miles out of our way. The worst part was it had rained during the night and we were behind a truck so when he hit water on the road we were sprayed be a nasty mud that was like cement. I was able to clean up the trailer when we arrived at Island View Resort and RV Park. The park is really nice with concrete pads and all the amenities needed. It was surrounded by vineyards and orchards. The town is really clean and caters to the tourists and travelers. There are lots of opportunities for walks in the area as well. We wandered around town after getting settled to see what was available. We found a pretty nice brew pub so had a drink on our outing.
The biggest drawback of Canada is it is expensive. Over $5.60/gal for gas, the cheapest beer was about $27/case and so on. Fortunately we had most of the supplies we needed for the next 6 days. The weather was nice, in the mid to upper 20's, oops that's Celsius so around 80.
One day we took a nice walk along the lake checking out the hotels and beaches. We stopped at the Watermark Resort which is a very nice place with a patio bar and view of the lake for a drink. We also visited a few wineries. Our favorite was Moon Cursor. They, and other tasting rooms charge $5 for tasting. We shared the tasting and were treated to nine samples. Of course we had to purchase a bottle. Here are a couple of pics of the area.
One day in our wanderings in town we came across a street fair. We bought some canned purple raspberry jam and fresh corn. Both were fantastic. Tomorrow off to Kelowna.
