Back home





Our week was up at Winthrop, the campground was fully booked for the weekend. Reason: A Blues Festival is on, people reserve spots here from year to year. So we found a space for 2 nights at the Wenachee County Campground. Which turned out to be very nice, spacious, close by a river, railroad track and a busy highway. The noise did not bother us. Saturday we visited the town of Levanworth. A town that transformed it self, situated in a very scenic valley, surrounded by the Cascade Mountains It was settled in early part of the last century. The railway moved its headquarters. and the sawmills closed. In the 1960's the town folk decided if they were to survive something had to be done, so they transformed their town, using a Bavarian theme. It reminded me of Oberammergad in Germany. If you like shopping and browsing go for it. Christmas Store with all kinds of Christmas stuff. The restaurants serve german food , as a side line you also have other choices. We had a southern scramble for breakfast, diced potato, tomato, red pepper bacon or sausage and egg all scrambled together, served with hot salsa and tortillas. You can take a ride in a horse drawn buggy see above, listen to an oompah band , buy taffy candy, ice cream, Anyway enough for today Al
