(Not so) Scenic Drive to Eastern Washington

May 2, 2020

A cloudy sky in the beginning of May. How cool is that?!

This was our first time visiting Wenatchee. Eastern WA is so different than Western WA. It's flat and dry with an average of 300 days of sunshine. 

There really wasn't much to photograph. No scenic stops but I did enjoy seeing farmland and the cloudy sky gave everything depth. Because of the pandemic this town was like a ghost town. 

We stopped by the Pybus Public Market that's located next to the Columbia River. Again, almost all the vendors in the marketplace were shut down, only a few were open, but they had very little goods. During normal times this place would have been bursting with locally grown fruits and vegetables, flowers, restaurants, WA wines, and more. We left pretty quickly though since there was nothing to see or do.  

We also drove through Lake Chelan. 

I'm sure it would be fun kayaking here.

It was neat experiencing different types of weather one state can have. I'm glad I lived in Western Washington though. 

On the drive back home we drove through Stevens Pass. There was still snow and it was raining. It's such a pretty drive.

Driving through here made me happy. It was raining hard though, a bit nerve-wracking when you can't see the road that clearly. Thankfully, it didn't last long. 

I enjoy going on day drives so much. It helps keep one's mind stimulated. It also makes life fun by having something to look forward to and in the process new memories are created.

Life is much more than physical existence.
