- Palouse Falls State Park: Everyone had the same idea to come here today. The parking lot near the falls was full, and we and others had to walk a quarter mile from a remote parking lot.

- The walk from the remote parking was worth it; I love sage.

- Basalt formations rock!

Lovely panoramic pictures, the waterfall looks impressive.Wild turkey! That was lovely to see, considering the nearest I come to them is the frozen sort at Christmas…

We have the green bean cohort trying to turn out the lights too. They apparently worry about birds flying ino them.

Yes, you would think the birds would see them really…we have NIMBYs here…(not in my back yard) that are too short sighted to see that ultimately these may be the only way forward.

We have NIMBYS too. And a Federal government that protects eagles even as they kill domestic animals. . . .
