Allegiant Air is not our favorite but it did get us to Pascoe (an hour from Walla Walla) in 2.5 hours. Heidi and Stuart have built a lovely house……very cozy and comfortable.
Heidi has just started to work on her garden. They had a long and cold winter. We enjoyed the greenery as there were so many beautiful trees, bushes and grass….a nice change from AZ.
Opening day of the Walla Walla Farmer's Market was lots of fun. Randy found his favorite honey…Star Thistle, and we got some veggies for dinners.
We watched a group of cloggers for a bit.
We then headed to Palouse Falls. The Palouse River, which is responsible for these falls, was the geological legacy of repeated glacial dams and floods from the ice age. The falls are 180-190 ft. tall and are the official state waterfall. A kayaker rode these falls in 2009 and lived to tell about it.
Dakota enjoyed a bit of tree climbing after our picnic lunch.
Very interesting geology in this area……love the layer upon layer of basalt.
Dogwood trees were in bloom everywhere.
Just gorgeous.
We toured the Whitman Campus on Sunday where both Heidi and Stuart work. Beautiful!
Art and sculpture are everywhere on the grounds.
It's a large campus for the 1500 students who attend this liberal arts college. They boast a nine to one student to faculty ratio.
We, of course, had to see the climbing wall.
On the way to the airport on Monday, we visited a bird sanctuary.
We spent a bit of time in this blind looking at all of the wildlife.
