A Pine Just Below the Rimrock

This tall pine is just below the Rimrock west of Spokane. Spokane is nearly surrounded on the west by Rimrock. The Rimrock forms a pleasant barrier for the city. It is a place where one is constantly delighted -- the light always changes, the seasons bring out the unique qualities of our home. Vachel Lindsey, loved the Rimrock and went to it again and again from his rooms in the Davenport Hotel and his apartment in Browne's Addition.

Fairchild Air Force Base Cemetery

This is a picture of the Fairchild Air Force Base Cemetery. There are a remarkable number of infants buried here -- over 100. They died mostly in the Spring of 1955, 1956, 1958 and 1958. I wonder why.

The cemetery overlooks the Spokane River to the North. It is adjacent to the Centennial Trail.
