Twisp

We arrived here in Twisp, Washington at about 2:30 this afternoon.  It was still raining this morning as we started to leave Leavenworth, but it stopped as soon as we left the campground.  It was dry and almost sunny for our whole trip up here. This much rain is unusual for June and the cherry farmers are very worried about their crop.  Cherries can't be picked if they are wet, and all this rain may be a disaster for them.
This morning they hired helicopters to hover over the orchards to blow away some of the water so they could start picking.

We drove a little over 100 miles today along the Columbia River.  We past miles and miles of cherry, apple and pear orchards before reaching the River Bend RV Resort.  We have a nice site that fronts into the river, and except for the howling basset hound next door, things are great.  We sat outside in the sun this afternoon, something we haven't been able to do for the last three afternoons!

Here are some pictures of our campsite, lots of grass and trees and a great view of the river.  I have been able to run around on the grass anywhere I want and they have put away my short leash.  Paradise!
