Magic Slice cutting board

One last addition to the trip report - I must mention the Microthin company. Since excellent customer service seems a rarity these days, it stands out when it happens.

In a kitchen store in Lake Chelan, Washington, Glenn bought this little cutting board. He really liked it but unfortunately it got a crimped corner after we shoved it in a cupboard back home. I emailed the company (that also makes mousepads, by the way) in Illinois just to ask if there was a way to straighten it. 'No,' they said, but they would mail out a new one, which they did! They certainly didn't have to since it was our fault it got damaged, but it was very much appreciated. Bravo, Microthin.

Lake Chelan, Washington

Monday July 12, 2010

Lake Chelan looks like a nice resort area similar to towns in our Okanagan. We only stopped for a snack and a browse in a kitchen shop.

All three pictures above were taken in relatively the same spot. I think that's Campbell's Resort on Lake Chelan in the top photo. It has a restaurant with patio seating but we ate down the road at a nice coffee shop / bakery.

It was so windy that we didn't see anyone in or on the water except for a lone wind surfer.

Most of the town looks fairly modern and well-kept (with some nice houses) but there is this old church.

After our break we drove up through Twisp, which did not look too interesting in passing, and Winthrop where the western theme is really played up.
