Leaving Euphrata this morning we followed the Columbia River through the grand coulee country. The geologists tell us that at the end of the last ice age an immense lake was backed up in what is now Northern Washington and Canada. When it broke free hundreds of cubic miles of water flowed to the Pacific Ocean carving this country and the Columbia River gorge. While impressive, his time of year thee is not much color except the blue of the river.
Autumn began today. Some trees are already beginning to turn.
I decided to take a detour up past Grand Coulee Dam. In a park overlooking the dam I found this statue dedicated to the many working men who built it. The dam itself is in the background.
We thought that we changed time today but the time line isn’t where we thought so we change tomorrow. That cuts tomorrow a bit short.
