July 6 - West to Okanogan

We all decided that the next time I choose a farm from Harvest Hosts, make sure they don’t have a rooster. The old buggar started his crowing as it was getting light (around 4 am)!!

Otherwise, it was a great place for an overnight stay. A cute chicken I called Mar West. She sure did strut.  

Now we are on to Okanogan Fairgrounds for tonight’s stay. 

As we were driving towards Okanogan, we first saw fields of canola. 

 Then as we got closer to Okanogan, we saw this ahead of us and wondered what they were growing. 

Fruit trees all over the fields on both sides of the road. 

You’ve heard of Washington apples, this is where they are grown. Fruit plants in Okanogan provides lots of employment. 

Once we got set up at our campsite in the Fairgrounds, we drove into the small towns of Okanogan and Omak. Tiny towns but there was a yarn and quilt shop and a pub. Unfortunately the yarn and quilt shop was closed for the week. I’m not having good luck finding an open shop. We did visit the pub for good beers and food. So all was not lost. 

Lenny and Banjo liked staying at the fairgrounds because they could be off leash outside. The only downer was the temps were in the 90s!  Luckily we had hookups so we could have the air on. It didn’t cool down much at night either.
