Day 2 - Yakima to Bend
Inside out.
The original inspiration for "The Shining", the hard to believe 1980 documentary about madness and possession in writers.
Who would have guessed they have traffic jams in Toppenish WA?
Local residents have great sympathy for those caught in the jams - and put great effort into creating lovely aesthetic experiences.
When it gets really bad - just pull in and eat at Dad's! In the old Pizza Hut building - of course.
The fight for the Cororner's position. Everything is voted on in these parts.
The crazy great fruit stand before the crossing of the Columbia.
Another trip start milestone: crossing the Columbia.
In Grass Valley, my favourite ghost church still stands.
And my favourite ghost gas station.
A different interpretation of what it means to be "OPEN".
Arrival in Bend. A few snacks are in order.
The only sign that counts right now. Lone Pine coffee is still open.
There are many other signs and symbols.
