Monday, May 23rd.  Yakima has many wineries.  Wow.  Stopped at only two.  OwenRoe has two; one here and another in Oregon.  The tasting room here is just their barrel room.  Nothing fancy.  Wine is okay.  Trevori makes sparkling wine.  Nice place.  Very good.  Says they sell at Costco and Trader Joe.  I’ll have to buy some.

Crossed the Columbia River twice today.  I had to do a zigzag route much of the way.  Wind towers spot the landscape.  I don’t mind them.  Pretty.  Mt. Rainer was in the distance for most of the day, through clouds.  The countryside kept switching from intense farming to wilderness.  Cattle certainly need a lot of hay.  Wind was fierce, but not dangerous.  Tiring.  Towns might have some history, but I didn’t see many markers.  A lot of driving down into a canyon, then back up.  Construction.  Loose gravel!  Saw rain, so stopped early.
