Joe, Sue and Charlie's adventures: Last golf event for the season

This was the last of our summer couples golf tournaments. The Wenatchee Golf and Country Club Champagne Couples event. Wenatchee is a very nice club located on the hill in Est Wenatchee. The front and back nines are a bit different. Thier greens are *^$&()&*&^% terrible, fast with breaks that are extreme. Local knowledge makes a whole lot of difference. Sue and I have done pretty well this year in these things. We have been in the money in the first 4. When we went to Moses Lake we said 3 out of four isn't bad and we ended up 4 for 4. So our saying this time was 4 out of 5 isn't bad. Well that's the way it ended up. We scored a zero. We played badly, but we had fun. Here are a couple shots of the course. One is Jim showing us the new seat on a tee box.

While we were playing on Friday with a nice couple from Meridian Valley in the practise round we encountered a red squirrel that was in distress. Maria has apparently raised abandoned squirrels so she picked it up and moved it over to a tree and gave him water. She felt he was dehydrated. Who knows, he was gone the next day.

We stayed this trip at the Wenatchee Confluence State Park. This is a Washington State Park. It sits on the point where the Wenatchee river meets the Columbia. (Confluence) This was a very nice park. We stayed in two sites because we messed up our reservations. The rangers were very nice and fixed everything in a very full park. First spot was the best as we overlooked the Columbia river.

The second site was very nice as well. All the sites in the park are big with lots of grass and room. Charlie had a ball getting to romp in the grass. Sunday after the tournament was over we went home and got some fire wood. After a laid back afternoon we lit a fire an got to smell like smoke. It's been a long time since we had a fire. It was very nice just sitting around and relaxing.

As you can see, there are three chairs out for the fire. I laughed at Glen and Janet Olson when we were at the ocean a couple years ago when they has chairs out for their two dogs. Well guess what. Now we have a chair for Charlie.

As I most always leave with Charlie. Here he is getting ready for the BIG trip. We are planning on leaving in mid October for the sun of Arizona. We are going to go down thru Wyoming and Utah to look at Jackson Hole and Arches National Park. I want to leave on the 15th but Sue wants to do a golf thing on the 21st. I'll probably loose. Just as long as we get to Phoenix in time for the races. It will be a fun winter. We will be home for Christmas then back south until the 1st of March. I'm getting excited and ready to go. I'll get to do a lot more blogging while we are gone.
