..and so far, A-hem 1 day, no luck.
It keeps hiding behind the rain clouds. I would have thought that the strong wiinds last night might have blown it all away, but Noooooooo.... probably blew the moon off it's course... that's what I'm thinking...
anyway, day 2 of the elusive search for the "Super Moon" just hope this isn't one of those "Sasquatch" Thangs... I'll wait until tonight to see if I can hide behind some bushes or a campfire... if the rain will allow it... heheh...
I have a photo, of just the camping, but will have to add it some where....
cheers from beautiful Wannansnpuummpumpomewaw...whatever.. Vantage, WA on the Columbia River no less..... heheheh
 
We just don't understand how you can retire in all that rain!! Shouldn't you move somewhere sunny and dry??!!
We were woken up Sunday morning...thought it was about 7 am...figured we'd start our coffee...Alan gets into the kitchen to press the start button, sees the clock, comes back to bed and says "it's 4 AM...you still want your coffee?" It was so bright we both thought it was daylight!!
 
Hehehe. ..yah I hear ya. I wouldn't know what to do without the rain. ..I am originally from California, Pasadena. ... probably too much sun from there. ..lol but I do love the PNW... but???? Hehehe if I didn't have Le Droppe I'd be in Thailand retired. ..and so it goes. ... krap sitting here now waiting for the moon, not goi
 
So I'm sitting here, Tue Morning, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.... under the canopy, with rain.... rain, forecasted all day at 90% then tomorrow, departure time, 30%... heheh, Initial response is to pack up and leave.. but want to hit the "Gorge" where they have the concerts. Never been to see it, and there's RV park there somewhere. Hopefully that'll take up the day.

Meanwhile, with all the rain, the park maintance comes by and puts in the sprinklers. So now, with the constant moderate rain for all day, they sprinklers/rain birds are going full bore... funny old habits are hard to break.. I understand why, to keep on schedule, but just seems a little out of sorts so-to-speak... fun...
Moon did come out, just as I packed everything up. got some shot, not pretty then batteries (plural) died..... went to bed..
 
Just a quickie…

Photos from the “Super Moon” trip to Wanapum State Park just south of the I-90 & Columbia River.
Rain, winds, clouds made it difficult to get anything and those didn’t work out so well. Also revisited the PSE Wind Turbines and Petrified Trees, they’re still there, they have them caged so they can’t escape.

Went by the Gorge and the RV/Resort just out of Quincy… A boaters/summer paradise… “Par-tay-Har-day..”

Nice trip, good to get away.

Neat shot Frank. You're absolutely right about raw and LR - easily worth all the extra disk space the files take up.
 
Yah, shot... well sorta... not quite what I was looking for.. of course 3am was clear sky and then following night too.. heheh, as is always the case.. oh well, till the next one..
Heading up to Canada Next week.. Wells Gray Park..
