Wednesday morning found us on my cousins' farm near George, Washington..... yup that's right George. It's flat farm country and farming is done on a scale much larger than I'm used to in Minnesota.We parked the trailer behind the house at "Arnie's Acres" RV park.
I rode with Cousin Steve as he baled straw. The current technology is just amazing. The baler and tractor both have computers and the tractor also has a GPS. The baler knows ans displays a variety of data to the operator and alerts him to any anomaly.
We drove over to a winery/ inn on the cliff overlooking the Columbia River Gorge. You can taste local wine, eat in the grill or stay the night in the cottages. What a pretty sight just standing on the deck and looking across the river.
There was the mandatory photo as we departed this morning. We said goodbye and promised to see the cousins soon. Thanks to Arnie and Ginny for all they did for us. Off to Gig Harbor just north of Tacoma
