The mountains with all the snow are beautiful. We kind of forget how the snow clings to the side and top in such quanity. It seems as tho this year there is more dept to the major snow area's. The Ruby mountains near Wells, Nevada and south from there makes you think you are in the Sierra Mountains of California.

I thought we might have a bit more snow coming thru the Blue Mountains between La Grand, and Pendleton, Oregon but there wasn't even snow on the ground under the trees on Deadman's Pass. The tempture has gone from in the 60's to now around 75 degrees as we get closer to Pendleton.

We settled down at Hood Park near Pasco, Washington for a couple of nights. This is a Corp of Engineer's Park. The park is on the Snake River where it joins the Columbia River. The sites are very large and lots of GREEN grass. The water is so BLUE. After coming up from the deserts of the southwest where most of the rivers are more on the brown side from so much mud of the spring run off.

We love our winter home in the Sonoran Desert near Quartzsite, Arizona, but the green wheat fields, and trees of the north country can't be beat, especially in the spring of the year. It is pretty comforable in what the people here are now calling spring. Seems like summer to us.
