Chief Joseph Canyon

After climbing from Boggan's Oasis (on Rattlesnake Grade), the road, (Oregon) SR 3 travels along a plateau before gradually descending into Enterprise. Along the way, there is a view point overlooking Chief Joseph Canyon, where there is a display board with information about Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce Band.

On The Way Back

Census data for the little town of Anatone, WA (WA129, south of Asotin)

Census data for the tiny hamlet of Anatone, WA. Obviously they are very conscientious about enumeration.

Anatone, WA's main street, also known as WA129

I could say this is the Main Street of Anatone, but in fact it is the only street!

Closer to Pullman

Palouse landscape, south of Pullman, WA on WA195

Typical Palouse landscape - it looks somewhat like cultivated sand hills. And there's a good reason for that - the dirt blew there in the first place!

An old

A fixer-upper. A handyman's delight. Typical description which a realtor might use to describe this slightly the worse for wear grain elevator. I (a city boy!) couldn't tell whether it is still used.
