SPOKANE and the PALOUSE III

Sunday, Sept. 29:

Cold and raining at the Hotel as we packed up. As we drove to Manito Park the rain turned to snow. We stopped at the park for a short look around,

and then headed off to the Palouse area. The temperature hovered around the low 30’s all day with a good wind blowing. Thankfully Lin had many more layers than I, so I was able to borrow her insulated jacket. It was a life saver. I wore both pairs of my pants as well.

We enjoyed wandering around the area most of the day. Not very good light, but we got some good pictures along the way.

STEPTOE BUTTE

SNOW LADEN PINE TREE

We finished atop Steptoe Butte:

 

We are staying at the Best Western in Colefax. Dinner was at the Grocery Store, and left a bit to be desired, but there were few choices.

Monday, Sept. 30th:

Very good breakfast at the Motel. Then off for a full day of photography chasing the light and looking for interesting old barns, etc. Spent a lot of time at a barn in Uniontown with the wheels fence, etc.

Found many dilapidated old barns, a covered bridge, various valleys, and small towns,

A TOUCH OF FALL

including the town of Palouse, a small farming community, where we got a sandwich for our dinner and enjoyed sitting and viewing the main street.

We then headed back to Cofax with another sunset stop at Steptoe Butte.
