October 2, 2012 (Day 249)
We went from Madras, Oregon to Toppenish, Washington today. We went from clear blue sunny skies to slightly cloudy with smoke skies. We went from warm and sunny to cool and windy. We went from high desert, through forests, through farmland, back to desert, over a pass, through forests and back to dry, desert looking land. We drove on highway 97 north across the Columbia river, and ended up at the Yakama Nation RV Park, next to their casino. It seems to be a nice place. We took advantage of the afternoon warmth and used the pool and hot tub for a short time. Then we took Marilyn and Gene out to dinner at their favorite Mexican restaurant, Villa Senor, where the mole sauce was “to die for”. When we returned to our camp, we taught them to play Chicago Rummy, which Harris won in the last hand.
Not a very exciting day, but life is like that sometimes!
We stopped for lunch next to this 1900 jailhouse in Moro, OR
There were many many new wind turbines on Hwy 27 crossing into WA
Smoke and dust in the air colored the sky
Total miles driven= 168
