Moses Lake, Washington

We have been at the Suncrest Resort in Moses Lake, Washington since August 24th. This past Monday through Thursday we have been the Wagonmasters for a rally of the 100%ers Chapter of FMCA. It was a small turnout, only three other coaches besides ourselves, but we had a great time. Monday evening we got together for cocktails, hors devours and a brief business meeting. On Tuesday evening we had a pot luck dinner which was very enjoyable and topped off with ice cream topped with your choice of several different very nice liqueurs. Wednesday evening we all got together for a very nice dinner at one of the local restaurants which was located on the lake shore. The food and company were excellent.

On Thursday three of the couples drove to Leavenworth, Washington, a little community about 85 miles Northwest of Moses Lake. The town sits in the foothills of the Cascades and has reinvented itself as a Bavarian community. The downtown area looks like it should be in the Alps. We spent several hours shopping in the local shops and also had lunch in a very nice German restaurant. This is very cute little community and I would recommend that anyone who is in the Central Washington area should stop by for a visit.

On Friday the other three couples left on their continuing travels. Like us, all of the other couples are full-time motor home travelers. Most of them are wintering in the Southwest this year, so I would imagine we will cross paths later in the year. We are staying here until Labor Day (Monday) when we leave to head for Seattle. We leave on our Alaskan Cruise a week from tomorrow and are getting very excited!

The Suncrest Resort where we are staying is a very nice park. It is family owned and operated and very well maintained. The sites are large and well laid out. The pool and spa complex are the nicest I have seen at any RV resort. There is a kiddy pool with two water slides, a very nice large pool, and the biggest hot tub I have ever seen. All of them are well taken care of. The resort is a Good Sam park, as well as a Passport Park in the off season, and I would highly recommend it for a stay for our RV friends who are traveling through this part of Central Washington.

Moses Lake is a water sports oriented community set on the shores of a large, meandering lake. There are several nice restaurants in town. There is an Elks Lodge here, one of the few in Western Washington, but they don't have a lot of activities. No meals are served except for special events, but the bar is open every day.
Adios for now mi amigos.
