Look out Lake Chelan....here comes Little Fox

 Hiya Blog World.
Little Fox here on vacation in North Central Washington.  Today's adventure is quite the adventure.

Sequoia, the roommates and I decided to take a little walk along the the Wenatchee River.  This river is fed from local creeks and snowmelt from the nearby mountains.  The Wenatchee is home to salmon (yum) and mountain whitefish.  This fox is fortunate the weather has cleared and you can't see as much smoke from the fires.

Leavenworth is a unique little town in Central Washington,  It's all Bavarian themed (lots of chocolate shops J and B).  This is one fancy hotel, it's called the PostHotel Leavenworth.  It's kind of expensive for this little fox but I hear it's amazing inside.

On word, there is more to explore.

Up next, is the home of Applets and Cotlets in Cashmere Washington. I'm not taking the factory tour today as the machines aren't running but I did get to sneak inside and take a look. 

Are you familiar with Aplets and Cotlets?  It was a big candy in the Pacific NW (and maybe around the world).  My roommate says that back in the stone age you would often see Aplets and Cotlets at Grandma's house. 

Aplets and Cotlets was the official candy of Expo '74 in Spokane, WA.

Didn't make it to expo '74 but my roommate did make it to Expo '86 up in Vancouver, BC.

Here''s the stove where the first Aplets and Cotlets were made back in the 1920s.  The candy was developed by Apple Farmers to use up surplus crops. In 2009 an effort was made by lobbyists to designate Aplets and Cotlets as Washington's official candy yet it failed as there was a disagreement between legislatures (shocking, right) in another growing region who wanted the official candy.

Final stop today: Chelan, Washington.

Chelan is a nice little tourist town on Lake Chelan.  Lake Chelan is known for boating and watersports.  None of those are on the agenda for this little fox but that's okay.  As I wandered around town  I met a few cool bears. 

Where am I off to next?
