Hopefully it isn&#8217;t occupied by the alt-right! The country in est-central Washington is bleak, rugged and beautiful as you can see from the posted time lapse and some of the photos below.<\/h4>\n<h4>This campsite is nice, but not great as it has no decent swimming area &#8211; though for $15 you can&#8217;t complain!\u00a0 The wind at this campsite was fierce and threatened to blow over our tents. Jon compared it to, &#8216;bivouacking on the north face of Everest&#8217;, and when we awoke this morning the wind was so brutal we were unable to start the fire for coffee so we moved on to Richmond, Washington for breakfast.<\/h4>\n<p><strong>God Bless America (and the VW)<\/strong>.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-339 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/2018.myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/car-flag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/car-flag.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/car-flag-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/car-flag-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/car-flag-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>The awesome Wanapum Lake<\/strong>.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-338 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/2018.myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wanapum-Lake.1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wanapum-Lake.1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wanapum-Lake.1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wanapum-Lake.1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wanapum-Lake.1-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Majestic hills along the Columbia River by Priest Rapids<\/strong>..<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-336 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/2018.myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hills-priest.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hills-priest.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hills-priest-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hills-priest-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hills-priest-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Tourists at Wanapum Lake<\/strong>.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-341 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/2018.myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tourists-at-wanapum-lake-lookout.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tourists-at-wanapum-lake-lookout.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tourists-at-wanapum-lake-lookout-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tourists-at-wanapum-lake-lookout-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tourists-at-wanapum-lake-lookout-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Spartan campsites but nice views at Priest Rapids<\/strong>.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-342 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/2018.myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/priest-rapids-recreation-area.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/priest-rapids-recreation-area.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/priest-rapids-recreation-area-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/priest-rapids-recreation-area-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/priest-rapids-recreation-area-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Night time at Priest Rapids<\/strong>.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-337 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/2018.myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Concentric-Priest-rapids.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Concentric-Priest-rapids.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Concentric-Priest-rapids-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Concentric-Priest-rapids-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myriad.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Concentric-Priest-rapids-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Daily time lapse&#8230;
