A Couple Nights @ Wanapum Dam

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Last week we decided to go camping this week so we could find a dark place to watch the falling stars (supposed to be a great couple nights for it), but that idea was threatened when I got sick on Monday evening. I recovered enough Wednesday morning that we decided to give camping a shot, though I was required by my better half to drink some caffeine early in the day because I was abnormally spacey. Once I was sufficiently caffeinated, we drove to Wanapum State Park, just south of the small town of Vantage, Washington, and just north of Wanapum Dam.

I’m glad we made the trip, because it feels great to be sitting on the edge of the Columbia River, the warm wind blowing through trees and the smell of sage swirling around us. I’m recovering quite happily. We have a private spot with a beautiful view of the Wanapum Dam’s blinking lights. The moon is half-lit and the curtain is falling on the stars. It’s a perfect evening.

January 1957 Issue of True Adventures

• CATEGORIES: Features, Magazine This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

It took a chance on this January 1957 issue of True Adventures and bought it on eBay hoping to find an article that included jeeps. But, I struck out. There was nothing but scantily clad women (not that I was complaining), fantastical stories, and silly advertisements.
