After rainy night, it was sunny, nice day. Ranger came to check people in Campground, he said that he didn't see us and went away :-) First task for today was to get to USA, we were quite nervous, how hard will be to get new tourist waiver for another 90 days? How big our surprise was, when officers on the border just asked a few common questions, took our passports and very quickly, without any other questions, did all the paperwork and gave them back to us with new waivers. This was even easier than got to Canada last time. Another surprise was where we were. From the green mountains we came to the desert and everybody around us spoke Spanish. Are we in Mexico already? No, we should be there around Christmas ... So following the Hwy #97 and the Okanogan River, we headed south, mostly downhill and with good wind in our back. Everywhere around the river were orchards with apples, pears, peaches or cherries (without fruit now). We slept in Tonasket in small city park, surprised about two o'clock in the morning with crazy sprinklers watering our tent and bikes.
