We're moving to and through Walla Walla, Washington en route to Idaho. Our views from the road have been endless miles of Wheat, Barley, Peas, Alfalfa and (in Walla Walla) Onions. We've passed hundreds of wind turbines -- they're surprisingly quiet. We've had the pleasure of staying with two wonderful hosts in the past week and are so grateful for a bed and amazing home cooked food! This afternoon we're going to hit our 600-mile mark and soon we'll be crossing the border into Idaho.

If you are biking along the Snake River, there is a wonderful waterfall "Fall River Falls" that is worth seeing. Your great-great-grandfather Albert Daniel Field (family source of your middle name) traveled out to Montana/Idaho around the turn of the century. He painted the large river scene painting that I now have, based on what he saw in his travels there. Love, Daddy
