Day 69 Bridgeport to Moses Lake, WA

Lazy morning in Bridgeport. Sure feels good to wake up in the USA. Apparently we imported some bug parts from Canada.

Pam made biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast. Gail scrambled eggs.
Lon and I washed the windshields.


The road out of town is lined with wood carving of still rooted trees.

I guess we failed to do our homework. On the road to Moses Lake we, unexpectedly, came across Dry Falls.
As the name suggests, Dry Falls no longer carries water, but is the remnant of what was once the largest waterfall known to have existed on earth.  Viewing the 3.5 miles of sheer cliffs that drop 400 feet, it is easy to imagine the roar of water pouring over them.  (Niagara Falls by comparison, is one mile wide with a drop of 165 feet).

This what the area would have looked like 13,000 years ago.

This water moved at 60-65mph. It occurred at the end of the last ice age.
I guess it was a result of "global warming". To bad Al wasn't here to stop it.

Lon took pictures of it all.


Then on down this narrow road toward Moses Lake.

This guy shows up at 40-45mph with his W-I-D-E load.
I wonder if the moron that issued that permit has ever seen this road.

We landed at the Suncrest Resort in Moses Lake.
We sat around camp and drank beer the rest of the afternoon. Then Lon and Pam went to dinner at Lon's uncle and aunt's.
Tomorrow is a day off. Definitely.
