The tiny town of Twisp

We left Kennewick WA reasonably early and headed west, passing corn fields and vineyards, then stopping in Ellensburg for coffee (I want a GPS that tells you when you're nearing a Starbucks!). We headed north up 97, and over the mountains, enjoying the Ponderosa pine forests. It started to rain lightly near the town of Cashmere; the road followed the Wenatchee river and we could see that both pears and apples were being harvested.

Shortly after the town of Monitor we crossed Easy Street (honest!) and the road followed the Columbia river - the landscape looked much like our Okanagan. We took a smaller road up the Methow valley and stopped at the town of Twisp - it's very small, about 3 blocks long. We found a room at the Inn, a charming B & B that was once the hotel in town. The town sprang up during a mining boom, and sits at the confluence of the Methow and Twisp rivers.
We explored the town, checking out the various metal sculptures, galleries, had a delicious dinner at the pub - a microbrewery, - then walked down to the river. Had a fun evening in front of the fire talking with the others staying here.
