Now I just have to find my sword. I put it someplace. You only need it for a couple weeks every year when they wake in Spring and makes pests of themselves until their regular forage is available. Ugh. I hate this.

It is gorgeous, but you can see why the US Govt thought it was far enough away from population to develope the first quantities of fissile material out there. The Hanford reactor is just a few hours north and east of where I was standing. I've been there a few times too, but they discourage photos. ...

I am late to this conversation, and not sure if there's time, but I highly recommend a day trip through the Columbia River Gorge, at the very least a stop at Multnomah Falls, but lots of waterfalls and easy (or not so easy) hiking trails.
