The Resting Place

We left Naples, FL on April 12th and gave ourselves 2 weeks to drive to BC. We had decided to find a resting place or haven to pause and relax before continuing on to Kelowna to attend my nephew Jason's wedding.
We were told about a small town close to the US/CA border called Osoyoos. We had travelled past this area several years ago when we first started full-time RVing.
We pulled into Island View RV Resort on April 26th and set up for our 3 weeks. A site with full hook-up, cable, wireless and excellent weather. Our patio looked out over Lake Osoyoos, and across the lake, a golf course and the flags marking the border.
Osoyoos is nestled in the Okanagan Valley among the fruit orchards and vineyards. It is very much a tourist and retirement area.
From here we have enjoyed drives to Penticton, Keremeos, Kelowna and several wineries.
These pictures are taken from the mountain to the East and shows the main part of town and the southern part of the lake and looking towards the US border.
We have found our oasis in the desert, a haven and now we must move on.
