The two activities this week were: 1 – a visit to the community of Hutterite Brethren Marlin; the last being the common name of Krupp, WA., and 2 – a dinner at CWU to honor the top students of the College of the Sciences. Geography is one of the named departments and because I donate a bit of money for awards, I get invited to such things. This year the geography students will learn of their award on June 3rd at a 5:30 gathering with food and picture taking ceremony. <\/p>\n
The Tuesday visit to the Hutterite community was a trip via the EBRG Adult Activity Center (AAC). We left at 8 AM and got back at 3:40 PM. This community raises potatoes for bulk sale and has a large herd of dairy cows. There are many communities in the USA and Canada. Given an opportunity, I recommend a visit.
\nIn a straight line from my place the distance is 70 miles. Actual road distance is about 110 miles. <\/p>\n
Saturday I had lunch in EBRG with Kathy and Fran. They brought a horse to an EBRG area trainer and then we met at a restaurant called The Porch. If the weather stays nice I’ll visit them next Saturday — just 23 miles south of Tacoma. I don’t look forward to the traffic and will try to use rural roads as much as possible.<\/p>\n
