Damn Cool !!

Electric City, Washington
Seriously ... that's the name of the town


No doubt many saw the PBS documentary on the greatest irrigation project ever.
Nevertheless the Grand Coulee Dam is a pretty neat feat of engineering and movement of concrete.
Its like looking at the Gaillard Cut in the Panama Canal & imagining the work accomplished so long ago.

We rolled through the wheat belt of Washington including the Palouse Valley.

We also saw a smashed up semi-trailer blocking traffic on our way down the road.
We were assured no humans or animals were harmed in the event.
Many, MANY apples gave all they had and were sacrificed.
Holy pomace Batman!

At least a MacArthur Genius Award? Perhaps a lifetime supply of paper products. No it turns out she was the 20,000 visitor to the visitor center so far this year. She got a pin for her hat and a couple of post cards.' But it so felt like winning!!! And no acceptance speech to write. We celebrated at a taco truck and a brewery.' All good UDATE INFO: Photo of pin added for maximum reader enjoyment

17-Aug-2017 Humboldt Redwood National and State Parks Northern California The Gunship pushes further south into the land of giant trees.

And we know of a bigger tree further north for next time. Anyway onward we rolled, hiking for hours in the redwoods, and drinking fine IPA's in the many brewpubs that dot the landscape. Seems like we are clear of the fire smoke for the time being. The gunship rolls

19-Aug-2017 Santa Rosa California The blog rolled into Santa Rosa and promptly shut down  in the fog....... in so many ways. We caught up with another old friend from high school and spent 3 nights living the vida loca. Truth is we lived a bit more loca way back when. Nevertheless we ate at great restaurants, drank great wine, went to wineries, saw a Santana tribute band (Caravanserai- most excellent)  and just had a good time. We even managed to dust off our instruments and jam for awhile. Good fun. We took some silly pictures The Berlinger Winery
