Saturday’s Trip to Mica, Washington

Our trip to Mica, Washington.

Ann’s cousin invited us to spend the night at her place Saturday night near Spokane, Washington. Normally the drive via the interstate takes just over two hours. We managed to make it last six by following an off-the-beaten path through the Palouse area of Washington. Here are a few of our adventures.

Our plan to leave at 9am was thwarted when I turned off the 7am alarm. I decided I wasn’t in enough hurry to leave that early. By the time we reached our first destination, Connell (only 30 miles from the house), we decided to eat some lunch. As we toured downtown, we ran across several ‘picnic’ tables with sculptures of squirrels on them. Here are Ann with our trusty cat-dog Zollie.

Under the hand of one squirrel is a ‘mortgage’ document. The squirrel is trying to get the rabbits to sign a loan. The money is being borrowed from Mr. Coyote. As best we could tell, this was the most exciting thing happening in Connell.2013-10-26-connell-squirrels2From Connell we left the Interstate and drove toward the tiny town of Kahlotus. Here’s a view through our front window:
