Some stuff





I have so much to write about my little road trip---I just don't know where. Washington is cut in half (almost) by the Cascade Mountains. The western side is Closer to the ocean and is wetter and more tree covered. Tthe eastern side is drier, not as populated, bigger ranches and farms. A beautiful area . I did go over the mountains to Ellensburg. The mountains already are piling up the winter snow, Ate lunch in Ellensburg and decided to go down the Yakima Canyon Rd, which is beautiful.
The Canyon Rd. has terrific scenery and lots of wildlife. We (my friend Deena) saw Big Horn Sheep and some Elk. There were lots of fisherman out and we saw an Osprey catch a fish.The southern end of the canyon is framed by huge basalt faces that tower hundred of feet above the river. There are many roadside parks and this time of year it is beautiful there. The golden fall leaves glow next to the brown hills.
So here are just a few pictures---more later.
Deena and I laughed ourselves silly over just about anything.
