Day 20 - Palouse Falls and Driving Onward

Sunday, July 2, 2023

 Washington ➡️ Idaho ➡️ Montana

This morning before we head out, Titus tried to get one of the 960 Sun Road passes into Glacier National Park.  Within the minute all he got was their site was crashing due to heavy volume of traffic.  He tried Many Glaciers, same thing.  With 5 left for Two Medicine, we got one.  It was disappointing but we worked it out on the day we went.

Today is a day of moving from one place to get to another, traveling. The only sightseeing stop we made today was at Palouse Falls in a state park.  Today we lose an hour, the first of three till we're back in our time zone.



Lots of apple orchards and these are crates of apples at a plant.

acres and acres, mile after mile









Washington's landscape turns desert-like





rolling hills of wheat



































Palouse Falls























on we go...





Washington's road signs had George Washington's silhouette face behind the number




The only longhorned cow I managed to get 🙈😄


Sheep and goats




We kept seeing these dust funnels



We enjoyed the roadside stands that had fresh fruit - cherries and apricots were the most common and our favourite!  This one was right beside where we filled the truck up with gas and had lunch.  It was a perfect addition to our lunch!



steeples against the blue sky intrigue me and are so picturesque




landscape turns green again and mountains and water appear






A stop for huckleberry ice cream.  Some of us got black raspberry and it is so similar in taste.  From here on huckleberry was a common berry flavour for many items of food.


Montana's beautiful scenery














lots of land with hay bales














with some landscape more desert-like 













It was so nice to arrive in good time with daylight hours left to relax a bit.  It was a gorgeous place to be!

I love how the sun illuminates the trees 


Evening delight















with the moon rising 
- above the trees and to reflect on the waters -




So much beauty and this soul of mine breathes deep and finds a place of peace.
