Days are starting to get quite warm, unusual for this time of year, I'm told. Lots of crops through this part of the country. Unlike the flat wind blown crop land in the mid-west, the crops here are grown on gentle rolling hills and make for nicer views.
Lots of "HIGH TRAFFIC CORRIDORS" along the way.
Then into the semi-arid region of Washington State.
Long walk if the bike breaks down.
Then on through the Washington apple orchids.
The best kind of place for lunch. Tacos were good and the orange soda came from Mexico in a much used bottle that looked like it had been filled and capped a thousand times. Gotta love it.
There is a very large Hispanic presence throughout the area, many of them working in the fields and service industry. Kudos to those from across the border busting their humps in the fields to put food on tables in America. I care not about the right-wing extremists arguments regarding the border issues, for if we relied on Americans to do the grunt work in the fields, we would starve. Then again, starving might not be a bad thing considering the size of some people.
