Daroga SP, WA

Our campground at Daroga SP

There's some major juice in those electric lines, headed to the Seattle

 area from Grand Coulee Dam.

‘Washington State’ was boldly printed on the crates of apples and peaches my dad brought home in the 50s.  The fruit was beautiful and delicious and I thought Washington must be a really wonderful place (and it is).  Back then, in my pre-teen years, I didn’t even know where it was.  You could point at Luxembourg on the map and say ‘that's it, there’ and I’d have believed you.  This park is on the Columbia River, several miles north of Wenatchee.  Orchards abound here, as they do all along the River as it winds its way through central and southern WA. 

This pix was taken from the deck of the Oasis Bar at the Desert Canyon golf course, which is near our campground.  We had a fine dinner at the Oasis last night.  The course is very pretty but not our cup of tea: we’re into par-3 courses that charge $2 per hole or less, glorified cow pastures.
