Lake Omak is great. Huge fish.......clear water. I wonder why we stayed away. Nice sandy beach.

Went to Tonasket this AM. Had Breakfast. Bought 26 bags of concrete (80 lbs each) and 4 footings for a deck. Going to start building one tomorrow. It will be in the 80's today so we will wait till tomorrow to start digging holes. It is suposed to cool off. Instead we will go see Lake Omak. Lee wants to try fishing there. 1st time we will see it( the Lake). It is the largest Alkaline Lake in the State.

Here we are sitting outside at the picnic table and surfing the net............arrived 12 noon. Temperature in the mid 70's. Finished the molding inside the cabin. Went to Tonasket for Pizza . Very Good . Saw a Deer in the bush nearby.........did not even move when we approached. Looked like it was giving birth......so we stepped away.Very quiet up here.

Tonasket has it's 1st official website. Parts are still under construction.

We were going to take Ron's Truck. Not any more (see prev blog). Ron was able to down load some Steve Martin and Stan Kinneson Comedy so we shall have plenty to listen to on the trip over and back.

Looks like we'll have to take Bill's truck to Tonasket this weekend. Mine has sprung a coolant leak! Weather still looks great for the Memorial Day weekend. 70's to low 80's with a chance of a few showers. Lee will try his luck at Lake Omak and provide some grain fed, hormone free steaks!!

Excitment is building as we approach launch date. Leaving at the Break O' dawn Friday morning. Bill is taking a Margaret Cho comedy CD for entertainment on the trip over. Ron is going to see if he can download more comedy (he has DSL service and can do such things faster than I). He is also looking for any"Books on tape" that might interest us both. The trip is 4 1/2 hours and it is nice to have options.

Update on the weather forcast for Memorial day weekend....Possible showers and thunder boomers!!....40% chance......Still mild with temps near 70 degrees!....

Welcome Ron! Team Tonasket is now all on board and fully staffed for the adventure of a life time. We have a busy work schedule this trip. Finish the interior of the little Cabin. And start the construction of a deck. Friend Lee will also be joining us. Weather report is looking good..........possible 80 degree temp! Yahooooo!
