Desolation in East Washington

The drive from Post Falls, Idaho across Washington state was a surprise. I don't know what we expected but what we drove through were miles and miles and miles of the most desolate country we've seen. There were some areas with greenery but that was only because of irrigation.

We stopped at an observation point that overlooked the Columbia River. Ed was intrigued by these rocks and how they were formed. Some of them almost looked like a man-made retaining wall.

The rugged mountains were a refreshing change from the miles of boring land, even though it was a long haul through the Cascades.

Our RV park is here right in Seattle and we'll be able to use buses to go downtown for sight-seeing. Today was a catch-up day for laundry and bill paying. Going paperless with our bills has been a real bear but worth the hassle.
