Road Trip....

We blew off our efforts yesterday. Forecast included thunderstorms, when Q's started forming the tops had imbedded cap clouds and wave was evident. Did not look good till Thursday so Mike headed back to work, and we continued to be patient (waiting for prime soaring conditions).

So what to do when bored? Road trip of course! Project: explore Palouse Falls. Our curiosity with this little wonder was spurred on by a Banff Film Festival and a short film involving Tyler Bradt a Kayaker that shot these fall in Washington state (The Video ). Reported to be the biggest Kayak drop (180ft?) We had no idea this little water fall was in our back yard so off we went to explore.

It was a 600km Round trip from Mansfield but worth every km. Can't imagine what inspired Bradt to run this falls.....

Great road trip, the Columbia Basin is truly a marvel. Weather may improve....Promising Wed?....
