This morning we spent an enjoyable
couple of hours in the warm mineral pool at Kah-nee-tah. I thought
to get some exercise by treading water in the 10 foot deep end. The
only problem with this is I float well anyway and even better in
highly mineralized water. I was out there more than ½ hour. Maybe
I got some exercise.
We took off at about one intending to
go on a back road through the reservation, but we had forgotten that
we turned off the main road to get to Kah-nee-tah. We had to turn
around and backtrack a few miles.
After we crossed the Columbia we went
up to the Stonehenge replica that Samuel Hill built as a memorial to
the local World War I dead. We were here before in 1979. We took
the kids out of school in 2/79 and traveled up here for a spectacular
total solar eclipse. Our first ever. We watched it from the parking
lot of the Maryhill Art Museum.
After visiting the replica we decided
to camp nearby at Peach Beach Campark. A few geese here and 13
babies. I don't think 13 will make it to adulthood. Maybe 2 or 3.
But geese can't count, so it will be OK.
Now I am finally posting. My laptop was having a problem and it took the high speed internet here at Peach Beach to fix it.
