Did you know there's a big ol' desert in Washington? Well, there is, and that's where I'm going.

I'll be busy most of the morning, so I'll let you know now that I have Kepler today.
When I visited Spooky in Yakima I had never been to a desert before and I was not used to the dry air. Had a massive headache for 2-3 days before I adjusted
That's basically where I'm going. I think it's like two towns over.
If you are thinking of hitting any wineries, check out Dusted Valley. The owner/winemaker Chad Johnson is a super great guy and makes some fabulous wines. I believe he is originally from Wisconsin. Probably the best winery experience I have had and that is out of well over 100 winery visits. If you think you are going to check it out, shoot me a text ahead of time. I may be able to set you up if he is around when you visit.
Ooops, just realized your response nested in the Yakima area, not Walla Walla. Well, if you pass through the Walla Walla area, offer still stands.
sounds good; thanks!
strangely, there's a large number of wineries around here too. not really a wine guy though...
Yankees keep pace again, only 18 homers back of the Twins and have another series against the Orioles coming up.
It was down to 17 - that's close enough, time to bury them
Sano and Cron.
Mitch and Rosie (and a WIN)
Rosi and Cron.
Twins vs Cleveland
Standings: +1

2nd order winning pct. : +7
3rd order winning pct. : +8
Where in Washington? 6-7 years ago we took a wine trip out that way. Stayed in Walla Walla area which was very deserty. The drive along the Columbia River from Walla Walla to Portland Oregon was pretty cool. At one point, we were driving along the river and the only green was some vineyards on the bluffs. As we rounded a bend in the river we saw snow covered Mt. Hood (I think). I looked at the dash and the outside temp was 102 degrees. Pretty surreal.
