Ritzville, WA holds a special place in my heart. 30 years ago in my
wandering days I spent the night in the city park while chaperoning a
group of high school kids on a bird watching expedition to Turnbull
Wildlife Refuge. On this trip I met and took home a girlfriend, Yasmin.
30 years later I landed, taxied back around, and took off, trailing
memories in my wake.
As the first photo shows Ritzville is a small town in the middle of a
great expanse of farm land. Ritzville pre-dates the freeway interchange.
