Homeward bound, via the Okanagan

We decided to take the longer route home, via the Okanagan Valley.  Weather forecast was a little warmer this way, plus it's fruit season so we can pig out along the way.  From Fraser Lake we spent a night at Lac la Hache (51.85845 -121.63779), then at the Superstore in Vernon (50.28545 -119.27036) and the Legion in Okanagan Falls (49.34122 -119.57271).

Highly recommend the Vernon Superstore if you`re passing through: easy access, fuel on site as well as a dump station and potable water (ask at the gas bar).  The OK Falls Legion was a good find as well, dry camping for the price of a donation.

Fraser Lake

The usual story at Fraser Lake: stayed at 24, visited with mom, Kathy, and Jack, Justin was there for a few days, Chris, Kelly, and Chase came out a couple weekends.  Campfires, food, a little work around the house, a little fishin'.  Made a weekend side trip to Dragon Lake at Quesnel (52.95633 -122.41939) with the bunch and got to witness a raven suicide.

Since the electric was once again acting up I finally broke down and picked up a 6 HP Merc outboard at Prince George on the way here.  BIG difference in moving the boat on the bigger water; it's nice to be able to move faster than walking speed again!

Just a couple of the nice little Rainbows at Fraser Lake.  

We discovered that flies are almost as effective as gang trolls and worms, and a lot more fun.
