June 7 Vernon

Friday June 7 .. we were up early and on the the road by 8am, headed to Vernon B.C .Beautiful drive thru the Okanagan  valley . We arrived at the rv park at 2pm.. the park is situated outside of Vernon on Swan lake . Met up with friends we met in Phoenix and went to happy hour in the park..Hiltes of our visit were .. off to a huge craft sale and listened to bagpipers. Drove to the highest point in Vernon and saw the whole valley before us,And on our way stopped at a honey mead farm .Off to  the town of Lumby for Lumby days and watched motorbikes jump ramps ( one guy lost control after landing and got hurt, put an early stop to the event)..Short hike to Shuswap falls ..We hiked Turtle mountain, another vista point in Vernon. After ,we stopped at Davisons orchard, neat little apple farm that caters to the tourists. Talked to Bob for ½ hour about the history of the area, Bob is 2nd generation of 4 who is working the farm ( grampy).Mid week we were at our friends for pulled pork and two other couples  we had met in Phoenix, like old home week. Plan to leave on Saturday June 15.
