I had the opportunity for a long weekend away and decided to make some progress on my parks project.

I netted eight new parks on this weekend (see the brown dots on the map below) and a handful of other interesting photos in the points between.

A tall leafy green tree and a smaller tree stand in front of a long, weathered white-painted wooden barn with a metal roof under a deep blue sky streaked with wispy clouds. A gravel and dirt lot stretches across the foreground, dappled with tree shadows.
Hooper, Washington
A historic red brick storefront with “MacGregor’s” lettered in tile above the entrance and a “1915” date stone in the gabled parapet, fronted by two vintage gas pumps, one orange and one gray, under a deep blue sky with wispy clouds in Hooper, Washington.

Hooper, Washington
A small white clapboard building with a gabled shingled roof and a sign reading “HOOPER” over its double doors, tucked beneath tall cottonwood and evergreen trees beside a gravel lot in rural Hooper, Washington.

A large weathered, gray wooden grain mill with multiple stories and a cupola stands beside railroad tracks in Oakesdale, Washington, with a small outbuilding to its left and leafy green trees and a tall conifer to the right under a deep blue sky streaked with wispy clouds.

Weathered, abandoned wooden farm buildings nestled among blooming lilac bushes on a rolling green hillside of young wheat, with dried teasel stalks in the foreground west of Colfax, Washington.
