A Northern Palouse Hill

Late June in the northern part of the Palouse. A hillside in pasture, a field in summer fallow, and spring wheat in a field below. Beautiful.

Milk Cow Barn, Eastern State Hosp. Washington

Cattle use the pasture but the barn, where decades ago the cows which provided milk to Eastern State Hospital were once milked twice a day, is no longer in use -- for anything. Someday, it will be restored. Maybe, it will be used again for milk cows and the production of milk. This would be a good and simple use of capital and would provide good and rewarding work for many.

Peoples Park

These pictures are of parts of Peoples Park in Spokane at the confluence of Latah Creek and the Spokane River. The park is about a mile to the west of downtown Spokane. A railroad high bridge used to pass over parts of the park area. And, at one time the area was populated with many houses. The park was puchased just prior to Expo '74. Use of the land is restricted to a natural use. At one time some in the city wanted to build a golf course in the park. That effort came to an end when the politicians were reminded of the restrictive covenants.

Graineries South of Wilbur, Washington

These two structures are old wooden graineries built before the use of steel in the area. They probably date back to the 30's.

Eastern Washington Scab Land

The Missoula Floods passed through here many thousands of years ago. This road in Eastern Washington south and a bit west of Creston is heading into the scab land area. Soon it will drop down into valleys carved out by the floods.

For more on the floods see this piece in the Seattle - Times by Ron Judd -- Route to trace wonders of Central Wshington ice-age floods.
