"The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord." Proverbs 21:31.
We were in western Washington for a short visit to see our son and his family and hiked with them and with friends to Racehorse Falls. We hiked in through some logged areas and had very hard going of it. We did, however, see not only the main falls but also Upper Racehorse Falls and Triple Crown Falls, all along Racehorse Creek.
Upper Falls
"And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth." Genesis 8:13.
In 2018 I went on an excursion with the Washington Native Society to Dry Falls and Sun Lakes State Park in eastern Washington to see one of the native orchids of Washington, an orchid that is rare elsewhere but very abundant in the park. We visited the area around Sun Lakes and then went on to Lake Lenore and explored the old Indian caves there. The wildflowers were at their peak and we also looked for an found the orchid and a beautiful Mariposa Lily that grows in the drier eastern areas of Washington.
