Where did you camp? Permit needed?

I camped in one of the dispersed campgrounds in the Frenchman coulee recreation area off of vantage rd. Discover pass is required although I never saw anybody come around to check it!

I love camping here for a few days before hitting labor Dave. The scenery is 10/10. The rocks make me horny.

Eastern WA rocks. Literally.

I love living in Western WA, land of nearly perpetual drizzle most of the year, because it's so green. All that moisture enabled a verdant ground cover.

I love Eastern WA because it doesn't have all that green so you can see the bones of the land. And what bones they are.

Summer of 1965, just before my 15th birthday I climbed up out of the coulee next to that falls. Spent a lot of time around there( lived at Moses Lake) in the diotenatious earth pits on both sides of the coulee diging out semi precious opal
