Weather - sunny 80's mid 50's at night. we had our first rain day all day on this trip. t storms threaten and we run through them with little rain.

| High density apple orchards, pruned and tied to produce as much as possible |
Kelowna is a pretty area on the Okanagan Lake, much of the housing and vineyards are built on the sides of hills and canyons and valleys.
 |
| Osoyoos - like an oasis in the Canadian Desert |
Orchards for grapes, peaches, apples, apricots, pears, cherries paint the landscape. We even saw a golf course with each hole between the apple orchards!

You could spend a few days just following the wine trails. Some of the vineyards are multi million dollar estates and others are little small sheds.
 |
| Watermelon and beet salad at Cedar Creek Winery - all locally grown |
One thing we learned is that BC means "bring cash". We stopped and had a beautiful lunch with a glass of wine - one glass is $14. Really? So we tried again yesterday at another winery and once again a glass of Pinot Noir was $14. Yikes! Better to buy the bottle at $26 and get a few glasses back at our campsite.
