Questions Possibly Related to Chelan, WashingtonProvided By Y! Answers
What are the cheapest/best places to stay at in Lake Chelan, Washington? Question: I love Lake Chelan and want to go there for vacation this summer, but I'm going with a group of friends and we want some place cheap and near the parties (:
Answer:
Not gonna lie, its SUPER expensive these days. Cambells and Grandview (formerly known as Caravel) are pricey but FUN! and excellent locations; close to the main part of town and city beach but also have nice private swim areas of thier own. Best western is close but not really walking distance to town but also has its own public beach area w/ a dock thats fun. The cheapest place to stay is probably the Apple Inn, which is up the highway by the ever popular Apple Cup breakfast spot. It has a pool but is a 15 min walk or 3 min drive from the city beach. Wapato Pt Condos are also REALLY nice and fun, but way far from town. Camp at the state park! or city park! its the cheapest and is usually really fun if you have a boat or are w/ a good group of people.
GOOD LUCK & have fun
eat at lakeview drive in!

Washington - Lake Chelan area? Question: In Summer 87 I was on holiday in Seattle. I am looking for a small village. The village was build in wood as and old western city with sherif office, jailhouse, bars with svingdoors etc. Whereever I look around it was totally as old time. Only the horses was changes to cars. The roads in the city was sand. I get into a bar to get something to drink, and the man behind the bar told me they also use this city to make western movies.
I want to visit this town again with my family but cant find it.
I remember I drive from Seattle, Redmond to Lake Chelan, driving in the mountains, along rivers and also passing and drive over a big dam. The town was placed in a kind of dessert. The climate from the mountains and to the dessert change in 2 hours very much from cold to hot. Do anyone know what small city I am talking about ??

Do you know of any campgrounds in Western Washington that have jetski rental close by? Question: We're looking for a lake area where we can camp and rent jetskis. Western Washington would be ideal, but the Chelan/Wenatchee are would do too (though we'd rather not go much further east than Moses Lake or thereabouts.)
Answer:
There are several local water sporting businesses in all areas that will rent jet skis, kayaks, boats, etc. Some may have locations on the lake; but most (for a fee) will drop off the jet ski or allow you to tow it on the back of your truck/SUV.
Since there are so many vendors, your best bet is to do a Yahoo or Google search on "jet ski rentals seattle" "jet ski rentals lake chelan" "jet ski rentals (input your Washington state destination)" and talk directly with these people/businesses that pop up.

Camping in Washington? Question: I need to find a good place to camp in Washington about 2-3 hours away from Seattle (prefer East of Seattle). I have already gone to the Washington State Park and Recreation website so please don't give me a link to that. I want somewhere specific where you may have had a good experience. (Lake chelan and Lake Wenatchee are all booked). Please don't give me a link unless it is to a specific camping place you have been. I just want names of places to go. Thanks.
Answer:
While I haven't camped up there I have driven up there several times and know there are camping spots, its a place called "Salmon La Sac" its where my grandparents ashes were spread, its just north of Roslyn (awesome town!). Its up in the mountains and really beautiful and I think they have cabins too. You should really look into it.

My car has brown transmission oil, should i get it flushed before i go on a big trip? Question: Me and some friends are headed over to Lake Chelan state park for 9 days and i was thinking maybe i should drop 100 bucks on my car before i go. Because i live in western washington so i have to go over the mountains to get to lake chelan and haha i have a little Honda Prelude.
and yeah i didnt mean to say oil i meant to say fluid but u guys know whati mean i hope
Answer:
Your proposed $100 investment will, no doubt, save you hundreds perhaps thousands in towing and repair bills.
Taking any trip in our cars requires that we have the car serviced beforehand to avoid any unforeseen pitfalls and breakdowns along the way.
This will also give you the piece-of-mind of knowing that your car is at it's optimal performance capability.
*check fluids
*check belts
*check hoses
*check tire pressure
Have a safe trip.

What is the craziest story you ever heard of that will get told to a insurance company? Question: I think this one gets my vote:
A cow plunged from a 200-foot (61-metre) cliff onto the hood of a minivan on a highway in central Washington state, according to police.
The car's occupants, Charles and Linda Everson, were not hurt in Sunday's accident, but the cow was euthanized at the scene.
"If the cow had fallen a split second later, the animal would have landed right in their laps," said Jeff Middleton, criminal deputy of the Chelan County Sheriff's Department.
Middleton estimated the animal weighed 600 lbs (272 kilograms), or the average size of a mature cow. It had been missing for two days and wandered 5 miles from home near the popular Lake Chelan tourist area.
Answer:
I haven't heard any!!

An American couple have survived unscathed after their minivan was crushed - by a...................? Question: ............ falling cow.
Charles and Linda Everson were driving back to their hotel when Michelle, a 600lb rodeo cow, landed on their bonnet.
Amazingly, the beast had fallen 200ft from a cliff.
Chelan County fire chief Arnold Bake said the couple missed being killed by a matter of inches in the accident near Manson in Washington State.
The pair, who were visiting the area to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, were taken to hospital but later released.
Unfortunately, Michelle was not so lucky. She had to be put down.
Mr Everson, 49, said he was in shock as he watched the bovine bounce off his battered bonnet.
He told the Detroit Fee Press: "I'm just glad to be alive. It's raining cows out here, man!"
The chauffeur said he saw something hit his vehicle but amazingly kept on driving for a mile before pulling over.

Michelle Burgers will be in the butcher's shop tomorrow then?

Re-uniting...Sort of? Question: So this weekend my family and I are flying to Washington because our family reunion is there. I'm 15, and my cousin is 16. We were closer when we were younger, and we don't live in the same state. Although we'll say 'hi' over myspace I'm really excited to see her. She's bringing a friend her age, and I'm bringing a friend who's 16. I want to "connect" with her in a way we won't forget. I feel seperated from her. We are staying in Chelan in a hotel, so we'll be in close quarters. We aren't sharing the same room, but we'll be swimming with each other and stuff.
My overall question is, how do I connect with her and her friend?
How do I get use to become good friends?
I only have until tomorrow...I leave tomorrow at 1 pm.
I get back on Tuesday.
Any suggestions?!?
Answer:
If I were you, I'd just invite her and her friend everywhere.
suggest things like "come swimming with me!"
or ask them to walk around with you.
One time my friend and I got really close because we stayed out until 12.30 am talking.
Talk to them.
Ask them questions.
Reassure them that you're glad that they're there.
Tell them how you really feel.

Answer:
Ich dachte an Ferien in den Vereinigten Staaten. Noch sorge mich ich um Pässe und die zugelassenen Anforderungen des amerikanischen Senats. Papiere lesen, daß der Gesetz nicht verabschiedet wird, bis 2008 so dort verzögert ist. Es ist ein reizender Bereich. Gut für das Wandern, Bootfahrt, canoeing und fischend, habe ich gehört. Leiten Sie das Waterskiing für mich, Dank weiter. Ich mag Schläuche und konnte parasailing versuchen, nachdem wir die betroffenen Sicherheit Ausgaben festsetzen. Können Sie für eine Heißluftballonfahrt dort gehen? Wie über einen Anhänger zu einem Grillaufstellungsort herausnehmen? Irgendwie horsebackriding. Ich mag es.
I thought of holidays in the United States. Still ensure me I around passports and the certified requirements of the American senate. Papers read that that is not discharged law, until 2008 are retarded so there. It is an attractive range. Well for moving, boat travel, canoeing and fishing, I heard. Pass the Waterskiing on for me, thanks. I may try hoses and could parasailing, after we determine security concerned expenditures. Can you go for a hot-air balloon travel there? How over a trailer to a grill place of assembly take out? Somehow horsebackriding. I like it.

Camping in Washington? Question: I need to find a good place to camp in Washington about 2-3 hours away from Seattle (prefer East of Seattle). I have already gone to the Washington State Park and Recreation website so please don't give me a link to that. I want somewhere specific where you may have had a good experience. (Lake chelan and Lake Wenatchee are all booked). Please don't give me a link unless it is to a specific camping place you have been. I just want names of places to go. Thanks.
Answer:
If you were willing to head south, there are some nice places around Mt. St. Helen's, just outside of Cougar, WA. Three I have stayed at are Panther Creek, Beaver, and Paradise Creek. Here are the links.
The final link is for campgrounds in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. If you click the link, on the right side of the page, it has campground information by district. Those are all east of Seattle, but I've never stayed at any of them. Good luck!
