SCORCHING!!!!!
But, the Palouse is a beautiful area and the wheat is being harvested right now. We went up and caught the sunset from the top of Steptoe Butte which rises 3612 feet above sea level. The road spirals to the top getting narrower to the point where there is only room for the parking lot and a set of microwave towers at the top.
Early morning light gives another spectacular perspective as the rolling hills create long shadows.
After the combines have been through there tracks will remain for the winter.
There are few places not planted in wheat or other crops but here and there in some watercourses a few trees manage to grow.
Some trees are planted as well around the farm houses and barns. The barns here are worth a blog entry on their own but I'll have to get to them later.
