Sunday, September 2nd
Those of you who know me well or were with us on our trip 5 years ago, know I have always loved rodeos. It's the little girl horse thing, I guess. Anything to do with horses. Well, it turns out, the Ellensburg Rodeo, held annually over the Labor Day weekend, is one of the top 10 rodeos in the country. Since we were "floaters" on Saturday, today was the day for the rodeo and the county fair. It was a warm one; sunny and 86°. We were lucky, though, and got seats in the shade. Bronco riding, calf roping, trick riding, bull riding... we had it all. After the rodeo, we walked around the small county fair and then to our favorite park so I could send my latest blog. Another delightful day, ending with a beautiful early evening ride home through the canyon.
Monday, Sept. 3rd
The neighborhood is emptying out quickly, the long weekend coming to an end. Jerry, Debbie & Kristen, our floater friends, headed out early this morning and we will be leaving here tomorrow. The only ride we haven't taken so far is directly east and in an attempt to avoid heavy holiday traffic, that is where we went today. The town was called Vantage and it really was just a recreation area with a gas station, RV park and a fun little restaurant. It was a nice quiet ride through rural Washington and very different from what we were used to seeing.
We tried to soak in everything on our last ride home through Yakima Canyon. We truly enjoyed our time here and will miss it, but tomorrow we move on to the other side of the Cascades. We wish you...
Happy trails. 🎵🎵
