Below Vantage
There was a huge fire in the sage steppe around the I-90 corridor west of Vantage this year. I drove down to see the results along the road south from Vantage along the Columbia near the Wanapum Dam.
There was a parking area with an exposed beach where I took the photos of the creatures on the gumweed. The wind was stiff, so the flowers were swaying a lot, making good photos nearly impossible. I posted the caterpillars to show they were there, but don't have a lot of hope that they can be identified.
I also drove down into the state park and took some photos there as well.
(Not an exciting post. I use these to group the observations so I can find them when I want to.)
