LOCATION: Near Okanagan Falls, in south central British Columbia
WEATHER: Rainy and cool in AM; Sunny and nice in PM. Highs in 70s
Starting today, I will include details about our campground. Hopefully it will be helpful to fellow campers reading the blog, and will serve as a reminder for us if we are back in the area.
We feasted on fruit at breakfast at the farm. We had raspberries, apricots and peaches, from the garden and farmers' market, all at their peak. We slowly got ready to leave, in between rain showers. We said goodbye to our hosts and to our friends Tony and Jenny. These last 4 days have been a bit of nervana.
We drove about 3 hours south, snacking on bing cherries along the way. The road was busy with BC and Alberta tourists visiting the lake resort towns. We saw hundreds on tubers floating on the river in one town.
We stopped at a winery south of Kelowna for a tasting and a picnic lunch. It was a tiny operation, an organic estate vineyard. The owner is East Indian. We bought a bottle of Pinot Noir.
The first campground we went to, Okanagan Falls Provincial Park, was full, so we went a bit farther to this one. We quickly unhooked so that we could explore the area. (aka, more wine-tasting). We went to 3 other wineries, each unique and with nice wines. They all seem to have beautiful views.
At this winery, there was a wedding reception going on.
Back at the campground, we waded in the lake and cooked dinner. There is a ban on campfires due to the drought, so we used our gas grill.
DINNER: "Leftover Supreme"..... I sautéed onions and jalapeño peppers and added it to last night's leftover rice/tomato/corn mix. To that, I added Mexican spices and a can of tuna. We ate it with warmed tortillas.
