Lake Chelan

Lake Chelan

May 18, 2013

We drove about 90 miles to Lakeshore RV Park on Lake Chelan where we stayed about this time last year. We couldn't check in until 2 so we walked to town and had lunch in a real nice bistro sitting outside overlooking the Riverwalk. It was cloudy most of the way driving but cleared up when we arrived. We then drove to the park and settled in. Don’s sister, Terry, drove over in her motorhome from Everett as she did last year and joined us. The weather cooled and got windy in the afternoon so we just hang around the park reading and later sitting by our fire.

We got up and had a nice breakfast and went for a drive to Manson with Terry. We stopped at the Lake Chelan Winery which was very busy having their Summer release and wine club member gathering. We tasted some wines and an interesting hard apple cider. We bought some wine and cider as well as some sauces. Delicious! Then we went to a quaint restaurant and gift shop in Manson called Blueberry Hills. It is located on a 12 acre farm where they use their own crops to make the blueberry jams, syrup, muffins, pies, etc. that they sell. In the summer they use 55 lbs. of butter per day in their eggs Benedict breakfasts. We bought some jam. Then back to the park for lunch and to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery. Here is a pic of the scenery looking across the lake from the park.

We had Terry over for dinner and we all sat around the fire until almost 11. We have so much fun with Terry talking about family and joking around.

We got up and gathered Terry and went for a real nice walk into Chelan. We started with the Riverwalk Trail on both sides at the end of the lake in town going to the dam and back to town. Then visited shops and stores throughout town. It was  about lunch time so we had burgers at the Lakeview Drive Inn. Good burgers, and fries onion rings. We then walked to the RV park to rest our tired feets. Gail and I didn't want to just sit so we did a little shopping. We think we walked about 5 miles today. Then we sat by the fire until about 11 with Terry. We are leaving tomorrow and the weather is supposed to get cooler and WET. Why can’t you people on the coast keep the rain to yourselves……
