Last week we decided to go camping this week so we could find a dark place to watch the falling stars (supposed to be a great couple nights for it), but that idea was threatened when I got sick on Monday evening. I recovered enough Wednesday morning that we decided to give camping a shot, though I was required by my better half to drink some caffeine early in the day because I was abnormally spacey. Once I was sufficiently caffeinated, we drove to Wanapum State Park, just south of the small town of Vantage, Washington, and just north of Wanapum Dam.
I’m glad we made the trip, because it feels great to be sitting on the edge of the Columbia River, the warm wind blowing through trees and the smell of sage swirling around us. I’m recovering quite happily. We have a private spot with a beautiful view of the Wanapum Dam’s blinking lights. The moon is half-lit and the curtain is falling on the stars. It’s a perfect evening.
Before the sun set.
Twilight.

Good to hear your feeling better Dave! 🙂
Maybe we should chip in and get some life insurance on Dave. Cant imagine not being able to look at this stuff a few times a week. Is Ann giving him enough backrubs?
Get well Dave and enjoy the views
As a matter of fact he has gotten some back rubbing out of his illness. ?
Thanks Ann. Lucky guy.
Great to see Ann chime in 🙂
Although I didn’t think she was so easily conned 😉
… but good for you guys: enjoy the celestial light show! Always enjoy reading of your adventures.
Joe … I just used that same guise you said worked on Jan! 🙂
I do feel much better.
Did you find any DB Cooper money?
No, we didn’t find any money, because if we did, of course we’d have to report that to the IRS, so no, we didn’t find any money. Nope. Nada 🙂
Actually, the DB Cooper money would be located on the lower portion of the Columbia more near the Gorge (a couple hundred miles down river).
