Wanapum National Recreation Area on the Columbia River, Washington, USA

Good morning from the Wanapum National Recreation Area on the Columbia River, Washington, USA!

I was thankful that the wind died down and it was a beautiful morning!

We decided to explore the area a bit. Watch out for snakes!!

Some posters let us know what kind of critters we might find here-

We hiked down to the Columbia River- it’s very wide and more like a lake at this point on account of the Wanapum dam that’s just downriver.

Kristhawee had fun collecting shells on the beach but wasn’t in the mood to swim-

We had the place all to ourselves!

There’s the I-90 bridge that will take us across the Columbia River on our way to Walla Walla-

Kristhawee is eager to get to Walla Walla and see his little friend Perrin from last summer so I load up the bike and take a farewell shot-

Kristhawee is fond of quoting his favorite Autobot, Optimus Prime- “Let’s roll!”
