Day 138
Horse Heaven Hills
August 12th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Whee! I’m first! wondering if Matt saw any horses!
I tried to send my horse there but it didn’t work. Now he’s got a broken leg AND a gun shot wound.
Hey Matt, your posting a mid-night? Get some rest its still a long way to the beach…
cmon in….the gates are open. Awesome Gate #?
I agree- that gate is AWESOME !! Wow – it would be heavenly for horses….
Another winning shot. The terrain gives a sense of motion to everything, and again, the colors, textures are rich. Beautiful.
The iron work on the gate is pretty nice, too.
As a horse lover, I agree with the name.
Where are the horses?
they are all off, drinkin’…..http://www.winesnw.com/horseheaven_map.html
or watching Matt! Somebody is a good welder!
Matt, you passed through Wine Country. How much wine did you drink? There’s a great winery in Maryville.
that’s Mayrhill in Goldendale~
I may have missed this in some of the posts/comments over the past week or so, but why is Matt “off course” from his trip plan?
Looks to me like he’s just bypassing the interstate — probably someone gave him directions that would be safer. I don’t think you’re supposed to walk on the interstate.
Possible reason: I think Matt may be visiting the 7 wineries in the Horse Heaven region, which may be causing him to get ‘off course’. He also may be taking the advice of some here to take his time in this final stretch of his walk and ‘stop and smell the Rosé’. (grins)
Ahhh, makes sense. I just didn’t know if something had happened or was wrong. Actually…….we could combine both reasons and say that since he’s visiting the 7 wineries in the region, it’ll be safer for him to stagger, I mean walk, the hills and not the highway….. :-D
not really off course, if you do a walking trip from kennewick to horse heaven to rockaway beach, it is still very much on track
Agreed…it’s heaven. Just look at the hills and mountains. And the little swaths of green…grapes growing in the vineyards. ;-)
Neat observation … I’d missed that …
The light steel gray of the sky/gate/asphalt are gorgeous against the pale gold grasses! Beautiful shot, Matt!
Oh- I thought it was a cemetary for horses,, Doo de doo-
Horse Heaven is beautiful. Looks like what every horse would want heaven to be like-totally open plains for them to run and romp. This is horse heaven for sure. And it’s gorgeous too.
Totally gorgeous…..
