Take care everybody, see you all in 24 or so.
I'm glad to see you brought something good to read and watch besides staring at all that great scenery all day! ;)

and now a shameless plug for the 50 calorie Mike and Ike Popsicle... three bucks a box at Safeway... had to share it with the cabins next to us due to the 90 degree weather and the fact that we had no freezer. They were grateful, and so were we...

Had another great day yesterday.
We went to a place called Toppenish. It is a little town with 64 Murals painted on various stores and stuff.

Amazing photo's Rick. What an amazing place. Looks like you had a fab time.
Looks like you guys had fun. :)
Love the fire pic! You know, I read a lot when we went on Vacation too. Lots of time available for that in the middle of no whereville. :)
Great pics Rick, enjoyed following along with your picture story day to day. Seems over so fast, just like the holidays I take, they go by way to fast.
Yes, this has been far too fast for me..... I wish I had more time to explore.
Here are some final pics on the way home...

Thanks for putting up with all my pictures. I hope you enjoy them. It's kind of fun to share with you guys.
Great shots Rick. Again - it looks like a beautiful pace to see.
we put 600 miles on the Cruiser this last week, but it was worth it.
Much fun. Now, back to work. :)
