Shadows and clouds...

We roamed the hills today, exploring the wheat country that surrounds Walla Walla. It's beautiful here, anytime. But today, the winds were bringing constant change above us: black storm clouds, rain, and occasionally, a glimpse of blue sky.

Winter is being chased out of the valley, storm by storm. The snow that blanketed the Blue Mountains on Thursday was refreshed on Friday and Saturday, but with today's warmer temperatures, the snow is starting to melt.



Spring will be quick, then summer will arrive, with brilliant blue skies and hills of green and gold as the new wheat ripens.



We stopped early today, with a hundred and thirty-two new cache finds under our belt. That called for a tasty beverage and pizza, which we found at The Stone Hut. Relaxing and talking about our time here was the perfect way to end the day.
