2014-09-21-Dayton & Columbia County, WA-Patit Creek Campground, Winery Visits and Whitman Soccer

Early in the morning, Andy, Sam and Tom drove through beautiful countryside and a couple of rural towns to the Patit Creek Campground, where the Louis and Clark expedition camped on an exploration that ultimately led them to the Pacific Ocean. Nowadays, life sized sheet metal renderings produced by a local artist of each expedition participant, including pack animals, decorate the site. In the afternoon we visited a few more wineries before attending The Whitman College versus Linfield College soccer match. Sadly, lightning struck twice--the game was another thriller but Whitman lost again in double overtime. We drowned our sorrows with fine Washington wine and Pabst Blue Ribbon which we used to wash down a wonderful dinner that we cooked "at home" in our VRBO house.
