Again as with Our Daily Sykes #468 Washington is on the left and Idaho on the right. The view looks north at the same subjects as $468 only here from a distant prospect upstream and with a telescopic lens. The river, of course, turns west (left) at the base of that ridge, and here the hill appears and feels like I remember it as a child. The serpentine highway that dropped from the wheat fields above to the twin cities below was a great excitement to travel. But not for Annie Grabbe who while visiting my parents from Grand Forks, North Dakota and joining us for a drive to Lewiston for reasons I don’t remember she went shaking in the back seat – and next to me – as we started the winding drop to the river. She called it “car sickness” and I marveled at the very idea that such a ride could sicken anyone. By now however things have changed and I can get sick from driving exposed highways as well as Annie Crabbe. Rest in peace.
