We've mentioned the reasons we enjoy RV-ing more than once: it's not just the people we meet (other RV-ers as well as locals), but the opportunity to see the variety of terrain and life styles in the U.S., and to discover points of interest we would not otherwise have ever visited. A case in point is our trek eastward across the state of Washington in the last couple of days: on Friday, we woke up on a Pacific coast beach, but by evening had visited one of the premier sources of lavender in the U.S.,
had crossed the Cascade mountains
and the Wenachee valley with all of its irrigated apple orchards (on otherwise parched hillsides),
had climbed through seeming desert mesas to miles and miles of wheat fields at the elevation of 2500 feet,
and finally arrived at the Dry Falls of the Grand Coulee river in Coulee City, Washington - the remnants of an ice age waterfall that at 400 feet high and 3.5 miles wide would have dwarfed the 170 foot Niagara Falls.
