Bike rally in Washington

We took a ride down to the town of Okanogan, WA yesterday as that is where our International rally for UMCI was being held this year. It was great to see a lot of friends and also see a few of their new bikes. Looking in Omak for a place to have lunch we found a little dinner called Magoos. There were a lot of people eating there so that was a good indication that the food would be good. Yep they were right it was. Just as we finished eating Gary & Wanda our International reps came in for lunch. We had a great chat with them and caught up on everything that was going on. The rain and thunder storms were very prominent all day, it was a good thing that they had some nice big shelters at the campground for all the bikers.

Today we drove down to Greenwood for lunch and just look this little historic town over. Most times we just drive through and never stop. It sure has a lot of history here as an old mining town.

If you want a good place to eat look for the bikes outside, well at least we found a trike.

When some people retire their bike they just make a flower stand out of it.

If you are ever in Greenwood be sure to stop at the Copper Creek General Store. It is one of those old stores that "if they don't have it then you don't need it".
On our way back into Grand Forks we came across a sign that led us to a local dairy.

Your choice, locally made Ice Cream or fresh made cheese. Which one do you think won out? Temperature around 32C and only 15 minutes to the campground which gave us lots of time to eat the Ice cream and then get the cheese and milk into the cooler. Mmm good!
