Short Trips
WALLA WALLA -- First came the Cayuse, the Yakamas and the Nez Perce, then Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and then the Presbyterians.
The farmers with their wheat and peas and sweet onions were next, then came three colleges and a state prison.
But you ought to see Walla Walla now. It has caught more than lightning in a bottle.
It's the wine.
Safe to say, though, that if it's Three-Buck-Chuck that lights your wick, the closest Trader Joe's is four hours west.

Hike of the Week
If you're going to hike in the rain pick a hike for which water is the main attraction and you can't go wrong. An appealing rainy-day hike is Lost Lake via the Greenwater Lakes Trail. There's a lot of water -- the Greenwater River, lakes, streams, lazy rivulets and waterfalls.
