Sage Sunset

Description

While visiting in Wenatchee a while back, we noticed that the clouds looked like the sunset might be promising. So, we hopped in the car and drove up to a ridge above the valley below, up where we had a view of the sage, rolling hills, and mountains in the distance. 

Admittedly, the desert has always freaked me out, probably because of all the cartoons and movies I saw during my childhood that portrayed the desert as an unforgiving place where things and people just bake and die. I think I even said that to Addam, after he spotted a very dead fox a few feet from us. It could also be the complete desolation that seems to envelop you when you're out there. Somehow, it doesn't feel the same in a forest, with the trees all around, you never realize that you're all alone out there. But the desert makes it much more painfully obvious that you are miles and miles away from anything. Whatever the reason, it has always been a source of irrational fear for me, feeling so vulnerable out there. I'm glad we got to witness this great sunset, as I momentarily forgot how much the landscape freaks me out. It's growing on me, though.  ;) 

I'm also glad that the light treated us well because on our way back down into the valley, our tire blew. Our spare also ended up having an issue, but we were quickly rescued by TRunna
