Vernon to Osoyoos BC

July 21
odometer 93870

Had a nice breakfast with family out the deck overlooking lake. Got on the road about 9:30, driving south in the Okanagan along the 97. The scenery keeps getting drier - a real contrast between the arid hills and beautiful Lake Okanagan with its boats and parasailers.
After Kelowna, the landscape is more about orchards and vineyards and there is a stark contrast between the irrigated valley and arid hills. Lots of tourist stuff along this route - theme parks, inns, and campgrounds.

Osoyoos was a pretty, but pricey, tourist town right next to the Washington border. We checked into the Super 8 Motel and Len picked up some lasagna from the grocery store to heat up in our kitchenette. The motel had a pool and hot tub so the kids had fun. We got to watch TV for the first time in a while, and in bed at that, so that was a special treat for all of us.

  1. I guess without the trailer you would be staying at hotel/motels now?

    The landscape is quite a contrast from some of your earlier shots.

    Almost into the states again!
