Another new adventure since the lockdown has been lifted: a Car Trip to Idaho and then, who knows where! We will start in Twin Falls, arriving after a couple days on the road (this one being day 1) then return home taking our time and seeing sights we haven't seen before in our own state... or maybe Oregon... see, we don't even have a plan! Lots of fires in our state and Oregon, so those come into play when determining our route.
Left the evergreen part of our state crossing the pass, then turned left for Yakima, and boy... the scenery really changed. The ever so slight hills were be golden or some would be dusty gray while the flatter fields, well, they were a vibrant green. The land here is definitely working all the time. We filled Ruby up in Yakima, then were good till we arrived in Pendleton, Oregon, our destination for the night. But first, a stop for a meal in Prosser, and that was a treat. Prosser is also filled with wineries, but we didn't check those out as we are on a mission to get to Twin! The restaurant décor was perfect for the area: Gun door handles, beautiful lifelike horse paintings on walls and the restroom had some really cute vignettes too!!
We are spending the night in a sweet B & B... gorgeous old majestic home. There is the Umatilla River a couple blocks away and a nice river walk. We rested a bit then headed out for a walk along the river. Yippee, got a bridge picture! The temps were in the mid 80's but there was a wee breeze that helped cool us a bit. Had a great dinner in a distillery that now has a great restaurant - a great way to finish the day. Oh, and some guy whose bottom we got to view the whole evening!
