The Other Side
October 15th, 2007
We drove to the other side of the mountains to go wine tasting in the Yakima Valley. On the drive, we stopped to snap some pictures and ran into some families foraging for mushrooms. This is something I’ve always wanted to do. I’m looking into a guided tour for the next nice day (which, in this country, could be some time next fall!).
We did the wine trip a few years ago and I was impressed by the countryside, the quality of wine, and the prices. This time around the trip felt a little more touristy and the prices certainly reflected that, but we had a wonderful time. The weather was perfectly fall. We stopped at a a farm stand that had delicious pears, apples, peaches, honey, and all things pickled. We came home with a trunk full of goodies. I think some peach cobbler is in the works for later in the week.

What a great trip and I love the mushroom picking adventure. I’ve always wanted to do that sort of thing, too.

I grew up right there in that fruit-laden valley, and worked many long summer days in the cherry orchards. And yes, it’s a beautiful way to enjoy the state, minus all the rain you are getting over there on the West side! Glad you loved it like I do!
