The day after the wedding we were on the road again. We loaded 43 bins of loose apples in Yakima WA. Thirty five bins are headed to the Mott applesauce factory. The remaining 8 bins of organic apples will be sliced, dipped in ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and bagged into individual serving sized bags and sent to your local Costco (and sold for over $4 dollars a pound). We make our first delivery in Wisconsin on Friday and the second delivery in upstate NY on Tuesday. We hope to spend Labor day at Lake Ontario or the Erie Canal.
Some scenes from our trip eastward.
Some scenes from our trip eastward.
There are numerous forest fires burning in Idaho and Montana. We never saw flames but this valley just east of Missoula was filled with smoke as was much of western Montana.
We crossed North Dakota on Thursday. We took at rest stop at Painted Canyon in the Teddy Roosevelt National Park- we took lots of pictures- but I especially liked this one of Kurt looking over the edge of the canyon.
Just down the road we saw a herd of buffalo out grazing
Later we passed the "Enchanted Highway" - which is marked by this giant sculture at the freeway exit. Apparently there are more sculptures along the side road, but we will have to wait til we make a trip in the car to find out.
As always, the crops interest us. Here is a huge field of sunflowers, yet to be harvested. We also noticed that all the wheat crops have been harvested but none of the corn from WA to Wisconsin has been cut down.
