Hi, Tweets,

I've had several people write and ask me how to find the rock paintings in
Yakima.

Since I'm not that familiar (yet..I'll be spending a lot of time down there
for the next two months) with Yak, my co-worker, who drove, sends these
directions.

>From Highway 12, take the N. 40th Ave exit. Turn West onto W. Powerhouse
Road. Drive approximately 1 mile.
On the left side of the road is a cliff face of columnar basalt, facing the
highway. The paintings are on the wall. If you cross the bridge, you've gone
too far.

There's a sign, metal handrailing and steep steps. I would say it's not
handicapped accessible, but some of the paintings are visible from the road,
using binos. Most of the paintings are at knee level or below.
The swifts, of course, are all over.

I hope these directions help. If you get lost, don't throw rocks at my
head..I'm get lost in Yakima, too. My DeLorme atlas is at home, sitting next
to my recalcitrant computer. (that's why I'm typing this at work.)
