Washington Trip Report - part 13 - the sun sets on my day of travel
After leaving Grand Coulee Dam I headed southwest on Rte 155, past Banks Lake and some amazing geological formations. The sun was setting but I managed to get quite a few photos before it got really dark.

All too soon it got too dark to see anything and eventually I got onto the interstate highway and drove to Yakima to find my hotel room. Sadly, I passed the Wild Horses Monument (whose proper name is "Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies") in Vantage well after dark and thus couldn't see it at all. As far as I'm concerned, the wild horse sculpture is the best reason to get on I-90 at all, so not getting to see it was disappointing. I wasn't disappointed enough to want to spend time retracing my path to go back to Vantage the next morning, although I did consider doing so.
