Leaving Washington State

Left the coast Fri. morn and had a long drive(relatively). We passed Yakima and made it to a city called Richland, Wa. The park we found is very nice, neat, clean, well maintained and well appointed. Horn Rapids RV Resort. Worth a stop if you're in this neck of the woods. So we got here Fri. 5pm and had a good nights rest. Sat we trekked around town and went to the Columbia River Park. We tour and walked and enjoyed the clear skies. Not for long, started raining last night and it's still raining on & off. This city was built because of the Hanford Company. Hanford was a refiner of Uranium to make Plutonium. The plutonium refined here was used in the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan. They built as many as ten reactors here and employed thousands of engineers. Dupont was the anchor company and did the most R & D. With all those reactors you have to know what the result was. All the nuclear waste is still being treated here and they have developed a method to turn it into Glass particles. (So I'm Told) The development process to clean up the waste has kept the Tri-City area alive and growing. Watched some football today, saw the Fish lose to the Raider's. We went to the Home Depot late today and noticed they have Christmas Decorations on the shelves already. We enjoyed dinner at the Olive Garden.
Tomorrow we will depart for Baker City, Or. stay for a day or two and then on to Boise, Idaho.
Love to all, Cris & Bob
