The Wheat Fields of South-Eastern Washington

The rolling hills of south-eastern Washington, between Waitsburg and Colfax (on highways 12, 127 and 26) were fascinating. For mile after mile there is almost nothing except the wheat fields. The pictures simply don't convey the true height of those hills! The wheat had been harvested, the bales of straw had been hauled away, and the fields were being prepped for the next years crop.





As I drove further west, the weather got better!

Those are the beautiful rolling hills of the Palouse. I graduated from the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, just east of Pullman, Washington, and LOVED my time there. It is definitely beautiful country.

My, my you are traveling on some of the backroads!

I spent some time in that part of the state while attending Washington State Univ in Pullman. The rolling hills in the area truly are beautiful.

These are lovely. You really are an amazing photographer. I've had so much fun tagging along on your adventures.

The beautiful Palouse (rhymes with goose: puh-LOOSE)! It is the breadbasket of the world, and is one of the loveliest spots on earth. Thanks for highlighting it, Becky!

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.

I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com

This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
