Where on earth did we go to find snow in the middle of July? Well, the forcast for my birthday was rain, rain, and somemore rain! Since we hadn't had anything over 75ish and rain for a while I wanted some HEAT. I thought we might go to Yakima and pick up some produce or something. We decided to take the scenic route, which led us over what is probably my favorite pass. Chinook Pass is at about 5400 feet (according to my GPS). At the top it still had about 10-12 feet of snow in places.
When your birthday is in the middle of July, you never dream of putting your feet in SNOW. It was crazy! I love how the snow curves around the top of the bathrooms.
Over the other side of the mountain, still in the hills, was this old friend. He was fun to follow for a while. We saw another little old car on the way. We thought maybe they were headed to a car show.
Miner's is the new Benedict family place to eat when going through Yakima. They are pretty darn fast and yummy!
Unfortunately, I'm sorry to say, there is not much to say for Yakima. The scenery, hills, and river are BEAUTIFUL. But the town....mmm. I won't be going back anytime soon.
Ellensburg!! Is just so pretty. I love the heat and the wind. It is so different from Western Washington.
Going either to or from Eastern Washington, we like to stop and get out here at this fruit stand. I remember going here with my Grandma and Grandpa Huntington to get some peaches and cherries for our trip home.
