After an incredible summer in Washington it’s time to start heading south again for the winter.

Since we have traveled much of the West Coast of California we decided to take a different route this time. We started off driving three days in a row, which we don’t usually like to do, but at least they were short days.

The first day we drove less than 200 miles to Cle Elum, Washington and stayed at Dru Bru Tap Room and Brewery, a member of Harvest Hosts. They are right off the highway and have a large, level parking lot. We walked a bit around town then came back to Dru Bru to have a few beers and dinner at their pizza truck.

The next morning we got on the road for the longest leg of this trip. Much of this trip was through the Cascade Mountains, which was absolutely stunning! After driving about 300 miles we stayed at another Harvest Host in Baker City, Oregon. Elkhorn Peak Lavender Farm was a little farther off the highway but was easy to get to. We loved having this incredible view for the night! The owners, Craig and Michelle gave us a tour of their farm and we bought a few things from the gift shop that we can’t wait to try!
