Adventures in Eastern Washinton

This morning Griselda and I went to the Cave B Vineyard in eastern Washington for brunch. The vineyards restaurant is called Tendrils and the scenery is absolutely stunning and a stark contrast to the greenery that we have here in western Washington.

Whilst the experience was a lot of fun the food was very average and in all honesty all of the wines except for one at the wine tasting were undrinkable. Fortunately for the vineyard I think a large percentage of there revenue is derived from the hotel, spa and golf course or they might be in big trouble.

An example of the sage brush

Eastern Washington reminds me a lot of the Karoo in South Africa. It is very dry and there is a lot of sage brush. With the Columbia river providing a near endless volume of water agriculture is abundant.

After visiting the vineyard we went to the petrified Forrest and did another hike. Here are a few pictures from the petrified forest.
