It has been quite a while since I last water skied and the lake looked so tempting. We are glad that you are able to get back here fairly regularly to visit. We totally get that part about enjoying a visit but not wanting to live here again part, we feel the same about our home town.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-30728780983307280302018-09-09T12:17:29.786-04:002018-09-09T12:17:29.786-04:00We're pretty sure too.

I spent a lot of time in that park growing up. Several good family friends just above the perspective the photo taken from. And that water - I'm salivating to water ski! Which I did a lot of as a teen. I love going there to visit. Not a place I could live again, I don't think but "ya just never know." All best.Frederikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063542830381196388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-12058463254651751742018-09-08T16:01:44.954-04:002018-09-08T16:01:44.954-04:00Hi Ruth, it's Frederika.

We may just check out a couple of those drives over the next few days. We are sitting in the parking lot across from the library right now as we use their free WiFi and people are setting up their tables. We will certainly walk over there shortly and see what they have on offer. Thanks again! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-37076892325127126292018-09-08T11:27:56.550-04:002018-09-08T11:27:56.550-04:00We know which highway you are talking about, it is...We know which highway you are talking about, it is the steep one as you come into Osoyoos from the east.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-37256260641400639932018-09-08T11:25:19.176-04:002018-09-08T11:25:19.176-04:00Sounds like we may be having the work done at the ...Sounds like we may be having the work done at the same shop. The one we are going to is called The Busted Knuckle, it is on the left side of the highway as you leave town going south just before crossing the bridge.

Check out the farmers market at the library on Main Street on Saturday morning (hopefully this morning when you read it) at 9 o’clock until about noon. There is a more vibrant farmers market in Tonasket, I believe on Tuesdays. On 97 it’s a short drive as long as you don’t get behind a truck hauling apples. A beautiful alternative is to travel between Tonasket & Oroville in the hills on either side of the valley: on the east side of the valley head toward Chesaw and Molson, explore, then head south to Havillah on way to Tonasket. On the west side head up the hill towards Nighthawk, head south towards Loomis and Tonasket. Both drives involve quite a bit of time and you’re probably gonna want to stop and explore. I think each drive is absolutely worth it. I’m not as familiar with the west drive, Palmer Lake, is somewhere along that route...peteolsonmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02596377086153716060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-69236644618384550302018-09-08T04:10:24.578-04:002018-09-08T04:10:24.578-04:00Frederika is in the back bedroom of our Lazy Daze ...Frederika is in the back bedroom of our Lazy Daze commenting on your blog at the same time I am...

Who is doing the work for you? It was a guy south of town on the east side of the highway that did it for us - a friend of Frederika's cousin John, who has 180 acres on the east side of Lake Osoyoos, just one property between them and the border. As you were coming down the King's Highway on the Canada side, you were almost directly above their property...peteolsonmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02596377086153716060noreply@blogger.com
