A Quick Trip Over the Mountains

A share of our farm that is not leased out is in the Conservation Reserve Program. Some of the acreage has been in the program for ten years and it is time to either renew it or take it out. Dealing with this cannot be done by email, computer or telephone, so we have to come back over to Ritzville for our appointment tomorrow with the Farm Services Agency. We came as far as Moses Lake this afternoon. We'll stay here tonight; go out to the ranch in the morning and take a look at the CRP ground so that we can give a good description of what's growing on it (the mixture of forbes and grasses) for the FSA folks.
We took Highway 101 over to Kingston, took the ferry to Edmonds, then caught Interstate 5 over Snoqulamie Pass. This lovely pair were on the road at the start of our journey on Rhododendron Road coming out of the
RV Park.
We are going to meet our friends Curt and Sarah for some Mexican food this evening. Curt is still harvesting, so it'll be a late dinner.
