Over the Mountains!

After final hugs to Daughter Mary Mae, Grandson Varick and Granddaughter Claire as they left for their last day of school today (Son-in-law Scott left for work before we were awake), Forry backed Auntie Violet down the road and into the cul de sac where we hooked up the Toad. Then south on Interstate 5, to 405 and then east on Interstate 90 all the way over Snoqualamie Pass, the Columbia River and past Moses Lake. We pulled into Tree Heart Ranch a little after five pm. Our ranch is midway between Moses Lake and Ritzville and midway between Batum and Schrag on Batum Road.



The farmland is leased to Barb and Jeff who live with their two sons in the farmhouse. We have an electrical hook-up, water and sewage on the west side of the wind break (the house and out-buildings are on the other side) back from the days when we used to have mobile home here for hired men. Our son Sean also had a mobile home here at one time.


We presently have a 50 amp and a 30 amp set-up, but Forry picked up the necessary box and wiring to put in another 50 amp hook-up for our friends when they come to visit in their motor homes while we are here. After we got both our water and electricity hooked up, Forry opened the storage unit to get out his electric mower. Due to all the rain this spring, there is a lush growth of cheat grass right where we park Auntie Violet...
