As Bill mentioned, we decided to come home after only 3 hours in the intense, buggy heat of the Okanogan hill country. Out of many trips we have made, this was one of the hottest we have seen! We arrived home around 11:30PM and while fueling Bills truck, we noticed lots of baggy pant Hip Hop hoods hanging out at the 7 Elleven. Bellevue is going down hill quickly!

We decided to head home. It was just too dang hot at the property. At least we got to check on the place, Feed the birds and squirrels, and dropped off a full propane tank..........So it was not a waste.........Very dangerous drive home tho. Very dark. The insects were hitting the windshield as if we were going throughout a light rain fall. Very weird. Tonasket is scheduled to get to 95 degrees today. It is 76 as I speak in bellevue.........Quite a difference.
