Steve, I have been to the Maryhill Museum over looking the Columbia River from the Washington side of the river.

"Visiting the very interesting Maryhill museum. Bet nobody reading this thread has been there."

What in Sam Hill are you doing risking your money like that? <g> I especially liked the chess sets downstairs and the cut-and-repaired painting upstairs, part of an attempt to destroy the imperial portrait (Romanian or Russian, I think).

The Maryhill winery nearby is a gem.

My parents moved away from there (Goldendale) about 8 months ago. The sheriffs department was a thug operation too, with a rapidly escalating payroll but a shrinking local population.

Oh... the pool in town -- they were offered free land for a public pool, but instead the town "leaders" thought it wiser to buy land from one of the locally connected. All the money approved on bond to build a pool was drained by the "study," and they had to pass another bond actually to build the pool. I'm amazed it ever got built. Or maybe a "test pool" was built behind somebody's home.

So... you lost your bet <g>
