On the Road Again..........

We ended our cruise at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater rivers which then feed into the Columbia. We were so fortunate to have good weather the entire time—no rain. 

We then headed west, stopping at Spokane, second largest city in Washington. Then past the Grand Coulee dam. It is the largest producer of hydropower in the U.S.  

We then drove on to Wenatchee, self proclaimed Apple Capital of the World. Soooo many orchards, both apple and cherry. As a former beekeeper, I was impressed how the beehives are placed next to the orchards for pollination. They are in groups of 8 or 12 hives on pallets that can easily be moved from location to another. 

And every where there were crates stacked for the fall harvest. 

Many of the trees were blooming as were the wildflowers.
