We had a nice breakfast at the hotel (bringing it back to our room to be safe) and had a nice lazy morning before hitting the road and heading out into the Palouse area of Washington State.
Our target for viewing this was Steptoe Butte State Park. Here's our first view of the butte.
This is an area of beautiful rolling farmland. At times it almost seemed to envelope you - it was all around us.
It was so beautiful when it's all harvested and not actively growing. I can only imagine the beauty when the crops - mainly wheats, peas, and lentils are actively growing providing more color.
The road up to the top of the butte was a white knuckle one for Bill - but once again his expert driving got us there safely. Besides being narrow with no side rails, it was a seriously winding road!
After working our way back down we headed to Uniontown to the Artisans at Dahmen Barn. We enjoyed browsing the many crafters stalls and made a few purchases.
On the way we saw this sign on the side of a hill - not sure what it was about, but it was huge and quite an accomplishment!
And then there is the Codger Pole in Colfax, the town we are staying in celebrating a return to the field 50 years after a football game for the same "codgers" who played.
Most things are closed as it's Sunday so we went to the grocery store across the street and purchased a salad each and to round out the meal a yummy cupcake to call dinner. Another really fun day in a beautiful area.
