Hitched Up and Ready To Go

Green Bluff, Washington

Each year in August we start taking bi-weekly road trips to Green Bluff which is about 50 miles from Farragut State Park. This farming community of over 20 growers produces outstanding fruit and vegetables available through fruit markets and self-pick orchards. The season starts every year with strawberries and cherries. The first peaches of the season, which starts in August, are the Blazing Star, a very sweet, juicy peach. This is our favorite. On our second visit we find Coral Star peaches. A case of peaches lasts us about two weeks if kept in the refrigerator. We have enjoyed their peaches, corn, cherries, green pepper, new potatoes, blueberries, apples, pears and wonderful tomatoes.

Mt. Spokane State Park

On August 25 Washington State had free State Park Day. So we decided to take a drive up to Mt. Spokane State Park on our way to Green Bluff. The state park sits at an elevation of 5886 feet.

From the top we could see the water towers at Farragut State Park as well as Lake Pend Oreille and Spirit Lake.
