The Palouse, eh? What is that?
You know when you first installed Windows XP and your background had these nice green hills? That's the Palouse. It's a place where crappy photographers ("tourists", really) fail to capture their experiences and good ones find amazing pictures.
So yeah, lots of great pics to be had. Be ready to sleep weird schedules as you become like a predator, chasing your shots at sunrise and sunset. And since you'll want to do this in the summer, that's like 5am and 9pm. You can stay in places like Colfax, population 2800. There's a Zip's, a Subway, a Papa Joe's ... Eddy's Chinese Kitchen, and Westside Pizza operates out of someone's living room. You might think this list goes on, but no, that's it. Evidently the flood of photographers and weddings in June, July and August completely fill and sustain a Best Western.
Being just an hour south of Spokane, I'll be coming back again. No doubt. If I'm bringing anyone with me, I'll just set them loose tracking wildlife. So far on this trip we've seen:

- A crow being divebombed by a smaller bird
- Two small birds escorting an owl
- Deer, everywhere
- Hawks galore
- Wild turkeys
- Marmot
- Magpie
- Quail
- Coyote
- And Rowan says he saw a fox!
