MORE ABOUT MY TRIP

Wild Horse Museum

The first thing I want to say is that the very best part of the trip was being with Debbie.  I talk to her all the time but it was just wonderful to spend time with her.

The picture above is the Wild Horse Museum.  Debbie and I did not know about this.  We had spent the night in Moses Lake and were continuing on our trip. It was 108 degrees in Moses Lake the day were there. Anyway, we pulled into a viewing area outside of Vantage and saw all these sculptures of horses.

I read about this monument when I got back home.  The monument is actually a series of wild horses cut from 1" thick steel that is entitled "Grandfather cuts loose the ponies" and was created by David Govedare.  The sculptures symbolically re-creates the Great Spirit turning loose a herd of wild horses above the Columbia River's Wanapum Lake.  The whole monument actually stretches for 200 ft. across the top of the hill overlooking the river and the town of Vantage.  The tempered steel ponies were put on the bluff in 1989 for Washington State's Centennial Celebration.

Debbie and I were so impressed with this site.
