Nice! Nothing beats a community of the brothers.

Hey I saw Larry yesterday. its been a long time since AIM.
Was riding thru Rock Creek last summer..nice little town... and the Bash was on , so I rode by, had a look at all the bikes.
Rock Creek got hit pretty hard by that fire in 2015. I went thru and stopped in Chesaw earlier that day, they were 3 miles from the fire and pretty worried when it was growing.. I bet Ferri has been to Chesaw a few times...
I'd like to help You OUT,

And if you are thinking of visiting Chesaw, dont forget Molson (almost on the border,named after the brewing family) and the Hee Hee Stone along the way...!
Both Okanogan towns..

Ahh 60 YEARS are you sure about the Molson part - Molson family is from Quebec I believe not Washington state.

And even though this is off topic again...Chesaw is named after a Chinese man that had a laundry (no joke) in the mining town. He would go out after work and look for gold, found a big vein and they named the town after him. :) (His name was Chee Saw)

And back on topic. I like most of the towns on the list. :D They all have something good about them.

^ Except Oliver. No one on earth likes that drug infested Hell Hole of a town. At least judging by the poll.

The back roads up there are awesome! Loved that area. Molson is high on the list of wonderful cross border excursions.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

Well Kelowna is likely to sink lower on the favourite list after this killjoy funded by my tax dollars

Where's this place called 'Other'? It seems to have received more votes than many of the others. [icon_lol2.gif] Also, what's the big attraction at Peachland? (And please don't say "the zipline"!)

Peachland does have a great waterfront and good places to eat.
Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?
