Tuk El Nuit Lake - Day Five

Another fun day at the lake today but this one started a little early, as in 2:07AM. There are signs around warning people to lock up their booze as I guess the local kids like to have a few. Last night I heard foot steps outside and then saw the light from someone opening our fridge. I got up and peeked over the door through the screen and saw some dude with his head in our fridge. The conversation went like this:

Me: Hey dude whats ups?
The Kid: Aww nothing much, just chillin'
Me: Havin' a few beers eh?
The Kid: Yeah, just one...

The dude then grabbed one of my beers and took off. The people in the Cabana next to ours had some of their booze taken too. When I looked outside to see where the shit ran off too they were already down by the beach and I wasnt too concerned about one beer anyways. That being said, I rigged up a wicked alarm system and if they come back tonight there will be golf balls bouncing everywhere.

Today we took off to the States to grab some Cherry Coke, some bubblegum, a $5 six pack of beer and our very first Geocache in the U.S. of A. We also went down to try and get a cache a Lake Osoyoos State Park but we learned it is no longer a State Park and is now a city park. After a few hours down there we scooted back to the camp site as Cohen was not being himself.

Poor Cohen was very whiny the whole morning and was not being super happy. He slept the whole drive back from the States and when we got home all he wanted to do was lie in bed. After seeing he had a fever and that his glands were a bit swollen Chelsey took him to the doctor; turns out the little dude has Strep Throat. It is all good though as he was his chipper old self by dinner time. Hopefully he is happy tomorrow!

After dinner we roasted some marshmallows at the camp fire then went  to check out the Wednesday night Karaoke here at the site. It was mainly kids singing but it was still a train wreck. Not too many pictures today as we were more concerned about Cohen then pictures...

Cohen pulling a train whistle. The lady at the museum in Orroville was super nice.

The theme in this small town museum right now was Wars Past & Present


All the symbols you see on the walls were used by hobos during the Great Depression. They used them to mark an area such as chance of food here, hobos arrested here, chance of work here, etc.

More of the symbols

I guess in this town some of the grad classes graffiti their grad year up on this rocky hill for the whole town to see!

Lake Osoyoos "City" Park

Kyah likes weird things, such as drinking from hoses
