Our itinerary takes a Twisp

We decided to leave Crescent Bar, WA two days early and get a little closer to the Canadian border to shorten the drive to Kelowna on Wednesday. We ended up in Twisp, WA, a small mountain like town west of Omak on the Methow river.

We stayed at the Riverbend RV Park which was really quite nice with large spaces and lots of grass. We were able to get a pull-in space directly on the river. We had good satellite exposure and even though Twisp is off the beaten path, Verizon service was strong.

Unlike most private parks, they allowed us to wash the RV, so we spent a good bit of time on Tuesday doing a thorough rig washing. The weather was warm, but comfortable thanks to a gentle breeze, so we spent some time outdoors with the dogs watching the river and a few kayaks and tubers flow by. We decided we were due for a restaurant meal so we went into town and had pizza and a beer for dinner.

We left Wednesday morning for Kelowna. The border crossing at Osoyoos took about 30 minutes. The Canadian border patrol had us run the RV and car through a huge high tech CAT scan type device as well as the standard passport check and interview with the usual questions.

We are now comfortably in Kelowna at Holiday Park Resort. I’ll put up more pictures from Twisp and update on Kelowna after we get back to the states next week and no longer in Verizon surcharge mode.
